virus question

HI..just wonder in your mails, do you get infected by cliking on the email? Of course I dont' open any attachments for sure. I got so much junk mails.

if you use HTML mail then there is a small risk that you can get stuff via just opening or even the preview pane in OE. However, it's small, but safest thing is to read mail as plain text.

I don't open e-mails from addresses I don't know.

so if im using web mails like yahoo, should I still view as text to be safe? or is it only OE that gets infected like that?:t

No, because you're not downloading the e-mail when you open it with web-based e-mail. Using OE and Outlook can be more risky. Be sure to keep your AntiVirus up-to-date and don't open attachments. Good luck! :D
