Question: Stopping Trojan Virus
Category: Internet
Date Added: May 5th Saturday, 2007
Answer:

Hello Gary,

I have a special folder I use to receive attachments in Yahoo Mail, I have a double email system, one online to stop or put into a folder, then after i check online, I download to my computer what is obviously ok. I forgot I am on GPRS Cell Phone internet. I have not checked the Yahoo attachment folder because I have to go online and do not have the bandwidth. I would assume it there. I will go check now and also try to read the online version. I have very tight security self-policy on attachments. I found the attachment.

I do know the first one did not have an attachment or it would not have got to me. More or less, people have to write me and tell me they are sending attachments or I will not even open, because about 95 percent of the time an attachment is a trojan virus.

If the person says, there is an attachment like you did, then I go and look. If they do not say, I delete any email with an attachment because virus programs do not stop viruses. I am extremely vigilant about refusing attachement, and especialy from people who write and receive many email with corporations like you.

Corporations churn and send viruses, that is where they seed them to start a new virus.

Thank you,
