Long story short, even "normal" looking attachments from expected senders can harbor nasty bugs. Opened up a resume on my personal laptop, only to have it infect my whole system with Cryptowall ransomware. All files, pics, etc are forever unretrievable. Need to wipe the whole computer and reinstall.
FYI - for those of you running Free AVG, it activated, but didn't stop the infection. Learned my lesson, and will now be upgrading that, as well as paying for Malwarebytes, instead of just using the free version that I run after the fact......
Thankfully I opened that email here, and didn't infect the whole network at work. That would have been EPICALLY BAD.
