There are multiple ways to protect yourself from email viruses. The first and most simple way is to not click on email attachments from unknown senders. These are most likely a virus that will infect your computer. Secondly, if your antivirus has the capability, set it to where it will automatically scan email attachments.

Beware of worms though, these things will infect your friends' computers and then send you an email making it look like it came from them when it is really a virus.
