Please.. this is an old wives tale...
You CAN NOT get a virus by opening an e-mail. You get viruses by
downloading a program with them in it. Has to be an exe to give you a
virus.. and the most common way to get a virus is in an installation. I
have gotten a virus before and it was off a disk from a manufacturer!
Scan disks before you install..
Hope this helps!
