Email Safety (Part 1)
Email is believed to be one of the best propagation means of malware on a computer network, with the advent of firewalls and anti-virus systems that filter them they have indeed gotten a lot safer but simple steps should always be observed when dealing with email in or out of the workplace. First, never open email which you do not have any idea of; simply delete them without opening them to prevent any malware from unloading their payload onto your computer such as keystroke loggers and other crazy stuff. Most anti-virus software have email scanning capabilities so make sure they are active and have the virus definitions updated to the latest versions (these operations are done automatically if set to do so when the software is first installed).
