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.

These virus spreaders are clever, and they can forge your and anyone else's e-mail address in the "from" field. So if you get an attachment from someone you know, unless you're expecting it and know what it is...don't open it! Delete it instead, or at the very least confirm with the sender that they actually sent it to you. You can also keep an eye on your computer, and if it begins to act peculiarly (see below), contact Kin-Help.
