You can automatically check virus attack by adjusting your preferences in Antivirus software to automatically scan before opening the mails. For this u must have updated definitions of your signatures files of Anti-virus software. \n\nIf you download the virus depending on your AV software it will warn you OR if you have not kept proper security then it will enter your system and start its activity. It can harm files and spread to many areas depending on type of virus that attacked.\n\n1. If you are using pop e-mail accounts from your hosting provider then depending on hosting company your email will be automatically scan and safely reach to you.\n\n2. If you are using free web based mails to recieve emails then you need to have antivirus software installed on your system.\n\n3. Norton Antivirus perfomance wise is best but consumes more system resorces. While AVG free version is fast but does not catch all virus.\n\nThe above programs tells the virus details, type and its role in affecting types of files.\n\nHope this all things will help your virus worries!!

It is a virus. It comes with an attachment that tells you to look at the full text by clicking on the attachment? You click it and you don't have a good antivirus program that stripped the virus and you will get it. Just delete the email and eventually who ever has the virus will find out and fix his/her computer. I had the same problem for several days and recieved probably 50-100 emails telling me everything from free sex to my long lost buddy found me.

Try Norton anti-virus or Panda or any of the others.  There are even some online scanners, but  just delete the email if you are not infected yet.\n\nThat should be worth 10 points!

When you use the Yahoo e-mail, message attachments are scanned.  But this does not necessarilly protect your computer.  You MUST have anti-virus.  \n\nYou can get the free AVG Anti-virus.  Visit http://www.grisoft.com/doc/1\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Do not feel safe because the yahoo server scans for virus infections. This does not protect you from infection in your emails. Do not open emails in the bulk folder.  It protects the Yahoo server from being infected.\n\nIf using the old email program. Click on the bulk folder and the emails will be listed. Look for ones that might be valid email and mark them as not spam or click and open them and read. Any that you don't know or want, especially if there is no subject or from address, the click the box next to it and click the delete button. Then click yes.\n\nIf you have an email that says New Graphic Site or anything like that, delete it without opening. It is infected and has infected many yahoo mail users this morning.\n\nIf it is the Yahoo mail Beta. Go to where it says HIDE PANE and click. Then click on the spam folder and the emails will be listed. This time you have to highlight and the click the delete button. By hiding the view pane the email is not opened. To delete more than one, hold down the crtl key and highlight all you want to delete. To open the pane again select the View button and select Reading Pane.

DO NOT USE OUTLOOK OR OUTLOOK EXPRESS for email.  Go to a web based mail, such as yahoo.  This way emails are automatically scanned and lessen the possibility of getting a virus.  NEVER open any attachment if you don't recognize the sender, and even then, be careful.  Sometimes friends forward viruses unaware.  Yahoo is free, and I always use a web based mail service.  I used mfire, or charter.net.  This has saved my computer thousands of times

I would recommend that you use Yahoo mail and forget about OUTLOOK.  95% of the virus attacks come in on Outlook.  It is the favorite vehicle of dastardly villans because it is a commonly used part of most people's Windows operating system.\n\nI deleted Outlook from my computer and my problems almost vanished.  The rest of my problems went away when I stopped using Internet Explorer and switched to Maxthon browser.\n\nJohnny

As for the virus ...even if you already have a virus checker it may not be up to date. Best one I have found is...\ngo to www.download.com and download a free antivirus program called AVAST.\n\nThen uninstall windows explorer and reinstall with your windows cd..if your running win xp you won't need your win cd\n\nGood Luck

if in doubt never open an email,especially with an attachment from someones address you don't recognize. That's how viruses get about.

You have to be connected to the internet to download the updated files for your anti virus, and then you need to give the program permission to install them.  You should give the program permission to do this automatically, so, any time you go on line and an update is available, it will automatically do it for you.  This is Critical, as new bugs show up sometimes Daily.\n\nYou should then set the program to be actively scanning your emails, and run a scan periodically , full computer.

Yes do not open anything from anyone you do not know. Even if you know them and they send it unexpectedly, ask them if it was really them that sent it.\nKeep your anti-virus up to date. I have mine update its self automatically every day while I eat breakfast.
