Electronic Mail - Always Scan E-Mail File Attachments

 

SUMMARY: Better safe than sorry - scan all e-mail attachments first!

 

If your E-Mail program accepts file attachments, take care before opening them and viewing the attachment contents. While some file attachments are just webpages or external text files, some are programs - and some may contain viruses. Especially when receiving file attachments from unknown sources, be sure to virus scan the attachments before viewing their contents. Better safe than sorry.
