Frequently Asked Questions

Question:

Can I get a virus when I read my e-mail?

Answer:

Simply reading an e-mail message will not infect your computer with a virus or other malware. Computer viruses, trojans, and other malware infects your computer when an e-mail attachment is ran from an e-mail.

While reading an e-mail you double-click, run, and/or save any attachment and that attachment is infected with a virus your computer will then become infected.

Even if you have no intentions of running or opening attachments that are sent to you through e-mail we still strongly suggest all users have an anti-virus protection program on their computer.
