Best Answer

Viruses are most easily spread by attachments in e-mail messages or instant messaging messages. That is why it is essential that you never open e-mail attachments unless you know who it's from and you are expecting it.

Viruses can be disguised as attachments of funny images, greeting cards, or audio and video files.

Viruses also spread through downloads on the internet. They can be hidden in illicit software or other files or programs you might download.

Also, notice that alot of website give Fake Alert.

If you have a fake alert, first close the Internet windows to see if you really have a Alert, otherwise They will tell you to download a "program to delete the files" which is actually a virus
