Joanne Agostinelli September 2000 1. Do not open any files attached to e-mail from an unknown or suspicious source. Do not open any files attached to e-mail unless you know what it is, even if it appears to come from someone you know.
Some viruses can replicate themselves and spread through e-mail.
Better be safe than sorry and confirm that they really sent it. Do not open any files attached to e-mail if the subject line is questionable or unexpected. Do not forward or reply to any of them. These types of e-mail are considered spam mail, which is unsolicited, intrusive mail that clogs up the network. Do not download any files from strangers.
