It is important that you use caution when opening e-mail
attachments. Attachments may contain malicious code that could corrupt files,
erase your hard drive, or even allow a hacker to gain access to your computer.
Be especially wary of attachments that end in .exe, .com, .vbs, .bat, or .shs.
Dont assume that an attachment is safe because a friend or coworker sent
it. A good rule of thumb is to save the attachment to your hard drive and scan
it with current anti-virus software before opening it.
