Basics About
Viruses
IN GENERAL
No virus can be sent via e-mail in
the message body but only as an attached file. Never open attached
files unless you are expecting them from the sender, even if the
sender is someone you already know. In most cases this sender will
have sent you the file without knowing it. If you have the
slightest doubt, do ask the sender himself before opening an
attached file in an e-mail.
What to do:
•UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES do not open the
attached file. This is the ony action that can activate the
virus.
•All you have to do is delete the e-mail BEFORE opening
the attached file.
How to identify the e-mail
Typical virus file extensions are .exe, .vbs, .ini but
this list is not exclusive.
Consequences
The virus will usually be
sent to all contacts in your address book at its own initiative.
This means to all persons with whom you communicate via e-mail.
After it is installed on your PC, it will usually start corrupting
files on your system. Other consequences will be to give full
access to unauthorised persons to your PC and to other PCs on the
same network.
