Odd question about sending attachment via Excel

[Guest]

I have a daily fee deposit spreadsheet that I send via Excel every day.
Recently I was asked to create a PDF of another report and so I attach that
report along with my usual e-mail from Excel. After opening my fee deposit
e-mail in the last week, 3 people claim to be unable to use Excel and IT has
had to repair it on their pc.

Anyone heard of this? IT has no idea except they are asking me to just
print to PDF, but I have been doing it the same way for years. Did the
additional attachment to the e-mail truly screw Excel up for 3 out of 30
users??? Seems odd.

Any thoughts?

When was your computer last thoroughly virus scanned? If it was
recently, get a second virus scanner and run that, in case the first
one missed something.

(Run it as an on-demand scanner, not constant background protection.
You should not have two virus scanners running at the same time, as
they may interfere with each other.)
