5. Chain letters and virus warnings - "Don't open that Email, you will get a virus!" Don't worry, it's not possible. An Email message is a text file. You cannot get a virus by reading a text file. Viruses must be transmitted as an attachment to a message. Always scan attachments with your virus software. An attachment is an executable file and can transmit a virus, but Email isn't an executable file. These sort of warnings seem to always be circulating. To check out these virus hoaxes go to the U. S. Department of Energy Computer Incident Advisory Capability's Internet Hoaxes. Network Associates also has a Virus Info Library.
