How do you get a computer virus?



You can get most viruses from opening just a "regular" e-mail attachment.

You can reduce the chance of this happening by setting your e-mail program so that it never opens attachments automatically.

Nowadays, it isn't even safe to open attachments from your best friend, because some viruses masquerade as people you know. You might think you are going to see Fred's pictures of his party, and actually wind up infecting your computer.
