[Users] Hi, need advice on possible linux virus in an email

[lists]

There is no harm to send something to virustotal.com EXCEPT if it is needs to be private. I send spam links to virus total. Most are just phishing. When it is a virus, only half a dozen of the programs find it. 

I didn't suggest the Intel GPU problem but ironically I have an old Dell notebook that suffered from the identical problem. I couldn't live without a functional GPU and ended up buying a Ryzen based notebook.

OK, your GPU isn't affected. Note, I don't mentioned an Intel backdoor,
but just a driver that doesn't work anymore.

There's most likely no need to do so. For what ever reason I'm unable to
import the mail, before trying to import it, I've taken a look at the
attachment. I couldn't see any possible malicious content in the human
readable attachment, let alone that Paul was able to import it and
nothing odd happened.

It can't be the GPU issue I mentioned and a virus is quasi out of scope.
What in the attachment should include a virus? The "href" parts?
