I received it attached to an Email
I am pretty sure it is a Holiday Greeting Card.
It appears I need a download to do it, would that be correct ?

why won't my laptop work?
Having grandkids is God's way of giving you a 2nd chance because you were too busy working your butt off the 1st time around
Do not send me PMs with problems that should be posted in the forums. Keep it in the forums, so everyone benefits

Thanks Garmana,
I placed it in the Recycle Bin, I have never met the person, but, I have told him that I could not open it, etc. He really gave no advice, etc. it's hard to believe it would be an unfriendly,
I am still curious I did scan it I think with AVG, and believe my AVG virus scan was on at the time I received it. What would you suggest in researching the dilemma further ?
Weatherman,
It was on my desk top, I did try to open it but could not get it open, nature of the original post, from there I opened the properties and posted them.

Further;
The person was a prospective business contact, whom I contacted was on my mailing list and received a X-Mas greeting form me, I assume that the courtesy was returned, and is the reason I have received a greeting from someone who is basically, not very well known by me. I don't understand why this appears to be a Jpeg, I mean what would a legitimate Windows Command Processor, "Attachment", look like ?

Is there any way to scan and detect this threat ? Like with AVG SpyBot or MMAB ?
I have it in my Recycle Bin.
