Hackers often lie to get you to open the email attachment

Most of the time several viruses sent over email or Instant Messenger won’t damage your computer without your participation. For example, you would have to open an email or attachment that includes a virus or follow a link to a site that is programmed to infect your computer. So, don’t open an email attachment if it appears to be from a friend or coworker you are expecting it or know what it contains. You can help others trust your attachments by including a message in your text explaining what you’re attaching.

Hackers often lie to get you to open the email attachment or click on a link. Some virus-laden emails appear to come from a friend or colleague; some have an appealing file name, like “Fwd: FUNNY” or “Per your request!”; others promise to clean a virus off your computer if you open it or follow the link.

So try not to open the attatchment received through emails or messanger otherwise your system may crash down.
