Guest guest Posted July 23, 2001 Report Share Posted July 23, 2001 Esther: Sounds like you did all the right things... good for you. The most important things are to avoid opening attachments, and to configure your email program either to reject them altogether or at least not to open them automatically. Once the email is dumped and deleted you won't even have the temptation to open it, and since that's the only way to get it, you're safe. Scanning an attachment usually is not a problem, but I wouldn't consider that failsafe. But trust me; if you get the virus, everyone in your address book will know it, you don't have to wonder.
