Helpful Emaul Tips

  • Never open email from users that you do not know, email that has a suspicious subject or a blank subject.
  • Never open an email attachment if you are not expecting an email attachment. Verify that the email is legitimate before opening the email. Many viruses and worms come in the form of a joke or look at my photos or something that seems too good to be true. Remember: Never open an email attachment unless you know what it is--even if it comes from someone you know and trust.. Do not open or run any program with a double extension. Example: jokes.jpg.com memo.doc.exe mypictures.gif.     NETSPYHUNTER-1.2.EXE
  • Never download files from unknown or suspicious sources.
  • NEVER open any files or macros attached to an email from an unknown, suspicious or untrustworthy source. Delete these attachments immediately, then "double delete" them by emptying your Trash. Delete spam, chain, and other junk email without forwarding it to anyone.
