im curios.

when people say dunt open email to prevent virus. i understand. but what if using outlook express.if u click (single click) on the new mail, it will automatically display/preview. so is the single click consider as the email opened and expose to virus attack?

I don't think they mean don't open email at all. Just don't simply open/run the attachment in email especially from unkown sender. There will be no harm reading the content of the email.

Ooo....so its the attachment that we have to be aware. not the email. thanx stormaker

If the e-mail messages has pictures, it will download them from the spam servers and it will track your e-mail from then onwards by recording where the picture was downloaded from and will keep sending you spam messages or e-mails with viruses attached.
