Never open attachments without doing this first no matter where they have come from. | Susan B (19) | ||
| 114665 | 2003-01-17 23:37:00 | I'd go as far as saying never open any unexpected attachment.. Remember that AV programs only get updated after a virus has done the rounds a bit and been identified, dissected, and then added to the list of nastys your AV program will bawk at. To my knowledge no-one who has ever written a virus, has ever been kind enough to send a copy to the AV people before releasing their creation to the world. .Clueless |
