Virus Information
General Rule:
DO NOT OPEN AN ATTACHMENT UNLESS YOU ARE EXPECTING TO RECEIVE IT
Because we use Unix systems for sending, receiving, and reading e-mail, we are fairly immune to the standard viruses. Still, if you receive an odd looking e-mail with the sender asking you to open and execute the file, don't do it unless you know that the sender actually sent you the file. Just because a familiar name is on the From: line in the e-mail, it doesn't mean that they sent it.
