Solution

Emily should check the sender's email address to verify its legitimacy. This is the safest initial step to take when receiving an unexpected email with an attachment, even if it appears to be from a known contact or supplier. It's important to ensure that the email is not a phishing attempt or contains malware. She should not forward the email, open the attachment, or disable her antivirus software without first verifying the email's legitimacy. If she's unsure, she should contact her IT department or supervisor.
