Google suspicious sign-in alert contains a trojan

A new email supposedly from “accounts-noreply@google.com” with the subject “Suspicious sign in prevented” is being sent en masse claiming that a hijacker has attempted to access the recipient’s Google Account. The message says that the sign-in attempt was prevented but asks users to refer to the attached file for details of the attempted intrusion. The attached zip file contains a Windows executable file that will install a trojan onto a victim’s system. The trojan is currently only detected by just half of 42 anti-virus programs.”]
