A As of this writing it is very unlikely that a virus can be transmitted in this way. In our opinion normal anti-virus precautions are adequate. Popular software includes McAfee, Norton Anti-Virus, or Thunderbyte. Evaluation copies are available on the Web; please visit TUCOWS for anti-virus software. Another way that your computer can catch a virus is through an e-mail attachment. In this case, you would have to run the file in order for it to infect anything.

Answer : It is quite common for virus messages to "forge" a sender's address in order to make it appear as if they have been sent from someone you know. Be assured that they have NOT been sent from me! I notice that a lot of popular sites get targeted in this way, with variations of their domains being inserted into the "from" fields. If you ever receive a message like this then just delete it right away without opening.

It is now possible to get a virus just by reading a plain-text e-mail message. This is a property of the KAK Worm virus. What you also have to watch out for are messages that include an executable file attachment. In order to activate a virus or a Trojan horse program, your computer has to execute some type of code. This could be a program attached to an e-mail, a word document that you download from the internet, or something received on a floppy disk.

Yes. Some viruses are designed to be transmitted through e-mail. Viruses transmitted through e-mail usually come in the form of an attachment. You actually have to open the attachment before the virus can infect your system. If an attachment looks suspicious, then do not open it until you can confirm that it is not a virus.

E-mail messages are in the simple text format. Hence it is impossible to get a virus into your system by simply reading your e-mail. Viruses are usually transmitted as attachments to e-mail. Exercise caution while launching these attachments. If you get an email from an unsolicited source along with an attachment, it is better to delete it. In case you are suspicious about an attachment, check it's authenticity with the sender of the message.

The Status Report will tell you how many e-mails were sent, how many bounced, how many were successfully received, and how many people opened and viewed the e-mail.

No, e-mail is just one of several virus and worm delivery methods, and probably the most popular.

The best way to protect yourself from new computer viruses is to regularly update your anti-virus software.
