So how do we know your attachment isn't a virus?

Well hello there!
This is a bit off-topic now but wanted to answer. We do have a real-time virus scanner for file attachments. It checks for viruses in files attached to posts to protect our community from becoming a distribution point for malicious software.
Basically, this service:
- Scans all attachments while they are being uploaded and removes any malicious attachments before getting posted to the community.
- Keeps the service’s virus definitions up to date.
- Periodically scans previously uploaded files to catch any malicious files based on latest virus definitions and updates. (Infected files are automatically removed, any references to the file are removed.)
I hope that helps. Thanks,
Mary T.

Unlike Windows, which will attempt to open anything, the OP's attachment has a jpg extension and, presumably, the forum software will attempt to open it as such. If it fails to open, then it was not a jpg. I opened the OPs attachment, and it is just a jpg. I saved it, renamed it a zip file, and attached it to this response. When I tried to save this response, the forum software refused to do so.
So, the forum software is making some check prior to saving attachments, and refusing to save those that are not what is claimed by the extension. We can check further with the forum management to verify that the pre-save check also does a virus scan as well, which I believe it may do.
