it s called "archive 18-d14.exe
when I try do download any previous attachment , edge asks:
what do you want to do with archive-18-d14.zip?
from: dl-mail.ymail.com
if I try to download the zip, and unzip it I get the exe file. For any attachment of my previous mails.
It looks like some kind of attachment download hijack or substitution !!
what s to be done??

Why do you insist on getting that attachment ? Do you like looking for and getting into trouble?
I am certain the attachment contains malware. If you keep persisting and you succeed in running it your computer will be seriously damaged.
the problem is not only with that attachment, somehow this virus substitutes it s "exe" malware to any previous attachment in my mail; the problem is not that I want to open this or that, it s that I don t know how to get rid of virus

Sorry you are correct. It's impossible to disinfect an attachment. Just delete the email.
