Does anybody know if there would be a problem opening an email with this JavaScript file as an attachment with either a gmail app or gmail via chrome?

Is Google protecting me?

Just hoping.

You can disable Windows Script Host or modify the registry to require a .js attachment be double clicked before it can run.

That should prevent malware from being silently installed without user permission.
