Infected E-mail Cure

Posted by: Dr. Mercola

I am sure many of you got the I LOVE YOU email virus. I got three copies. However, I did not get infected because I follow the policy below:

Never open an attached file unless you are expecting it and want it, even if it comes from someone you know. When you get such a file, send the person back a standard response, which you can have saved as one of your optional signatures in Outlook.

"You sent me an attached file but I don't open unsolicited attached files," I start off. "This is a common way to spread computer viruses and the larger files waste bandwidth. Please feel free to send material as short regular email message. If you have graphic material, post it to a website and let me know the URL."

Should you have virus protection software? Absolutely, but even the best will not prevent the future email attachments from causing you a problem in the future. This is the only sure fire solution I know.
