It's my understanding that most viruses that come through e-mail have to be opened through an attachement. /The attachement is opened by clicking on the little paper clip icon(on my machine) and then opening the e-mail. It is best to just delete it without doing anything else unless you are getting an answer from someone or it is from someone who has told you that they are sending something. Watch your subject line. It will usually cue you in that it is odd but not always. The best way to open attachemnts and be as safe as one can be is to save them (throught the clip0 to your5 documents and then run a virus scan on them such as McAfee or Norton or Trend check, or another virus program. Make sure you have a virus protection program such as one of these and if it is working properly it usually will tell you when the e-mail program MAY have a virus when you click on the paper clip. >>>>> I hope this is not giberish.
