its really simple! DONT OPEN ATTACHMENTS! even if it does appear to come from a 'Friend' IF IN DOUBT delete it ......or phone your 'friend' and ask if he/she actually sent the email.
Half the viruses out there are HOPELESS unless people help them along by opening attachments! it appears a lot of people WORLD WIDE seem to just CLICK AND OPEN.
Think about it....would you let someone in to your home if they said they were from the water company...just because they have a nice ID badge? NO you'd phone the company and make sure the person @ ur door was lagit.
oh and if you have a look at some attachments that may come in by email, they will have double file extensions.
E.G.
yoursoftware.doc.exe
yourfiles.xls.pif
NEVER EVER EVER open these types! that really is asking for trouble
anyway! keep those virus scanners up to date!
