A IS FOR ANTI-VIRUS: TAKE CARE WITH E-MAIL

Avoid opening e-mails

  • that have odd or nonsensical subject lines.
  • that have many grammatical errors or use stilted language.
  • from senders you don't know.

Avoid opening attachments

  • from unknown senders.
  • that you weren't expecting.
  • that end in .exe -- unless you're sure you know what it is.

When in doubt about an e-mail, delete the message and e-mail the sender (if you know him or her) to learn whether the e-mail was legitimate.

See the last page of this tutorial for further virus resources, or e-mail your questions to the Talking Tech message board!
