Where is the hard drive located in the computer tower?
The hard drive disk is well.. obviously inside the computer but it tends to be more towards the bottom of the front panel.. below the CD-ROM drives and Floppy drives. It will generally be the bottom one. If you're going to remove it make sure that you are EXTREMELY careful with it. Try to wear a grounding bracelet or use some sort of grounding method when messing around with the inside of your computer. The most common method without having to buy anything is simply having one hand on the computer case. DO NOT drop your hard drive and do not place around magnets or water. DO NOT TAKE apart as this will ruin it. The hard drive is obviously one of the most important parts of the computer and must be treated very carefully.

Yes. That is one of the most common ways actually, but usually just opening an email won't give you a virus. It might say to go to a website or something, but unless you know for a fact that that is not a malicious website, don't click the link.
Most hackers use viruses as email attachments, so you will have to download and execute the file before getting infected. But now hackers got smarter and inserted the virus into the html code. Yes, that means if you open an infected email message, you will automatically get infected.
