RiG Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 After the sudden rush of Virus style threads in E-Chat I was wondering what posters on here actually open any suspect looking or unexpected attachments they get sent in emails and thus opening themselves up to the possibilities of viral attacks? No for me. I delete basically everything I get sent anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I would've expected this thread to be responded to with loads of laughing and end up with you being told that it is pointless, but as you say there seems to be a lot of people with similar problems caused by similar reasons!!!! Everyone will of course vote no but sometimes the temptation to open an unknown file can be all too much Am I being a total geek or is it just so bloody obvious! I suppose I shouldnt complain as it keeps the IT people in a job I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laid Back Maverick Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I never open attachments and I virus scan any file I download before I use it. My sister used this PC for 20 mins and got it infected with that MSN virus Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
