E-MAIL Computer Viruses:
You can safeguard your computer by following the instructions below.
This will help stop the spread of many EMAIL VIRUSES for most OUTLOOK EXPRESS users.
1) Open Outlook Express (OFFLINE for security). Then go to TOOLS -> Options -> Security
Change the Security Zone to "Restricted sites zone". This will prevent it from automatically running imbedded script viruses.
2) Tools -> Options -> Send
Change mail sending format to "Plain Text" and uncheck "Reply to messages using the format in which they were sent". This will prevent infected machines from spreading script viruses through email.
3) Force Windows to display the entire filenames. Open Windows Explorer, click on View -> Folder Options -> View, then UNcheck the :Hide file extensions for known file types" option.
This will show you the full extension of all files for the next step.
4) Be wary of all file attachements regardless of who they are from. Don't open attachments with the following extensions under any circumstances:
.EXE .COM .BAT .PIF .LNK .SCR .JS .VBS .DOC
