•The Know test: Is the email from someone that you know? •The Received test: Have you received email from this sender before? •The Expect test: Were you expecting email with an attachment from this sender? •The Sense test: Does email from the sender with the contents as described in the Subject line and the name of the attachment(s) make sense? For example, would you expect the sender - let's say your Mother - to send you an email message with the Subject line "Here you have, ;o)" that contains a message with attachment - let's say AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs? A message like that probably doesn't make sense. In fact, it happens to be an instance of the Anna Kournikova worm, and reading it can damage your system. •The Virus test: Does this email contain a virus? To determine this, you need to install and use an anti-virus program. That task is described in Task 1 - Install and Use Anti-Virus Programs of "Home Computer Security

May Be A Spam Mails. just ignore it
Always check the sender and only the people you trust. DO not open messages you don't know who they are from OR a website you don't know. Always look at the Subject too, it helps.
Well, isn't that just a happy little sentence we have here! Let's break it down together. "One" is an adjective describing "email message," "contained" is a verb showing action, "a" is an article indicating a singular noun, "virus" is a noun, "but" is a conjunction connecting ideas, "it" is a pronoun referring to the virus, "was" is a verb indicating a state of being, and "very quickly" is an adverb describing how the virus was deleted. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, understanding the parts of speech can help us appreciate the beauty of language!
The Melissa virus is a mass-mailing macro virus. It can effect email that is sent and infect the computer when the email is opened.
