21. Is Webmail less prone to virus infections than using MS Outlook or Outlook Express? |
|
| | It
is known that MS email clients are more prone to viruses as most viruses are designed
to attack and spread through design flaws in these programs. Use virus scanning
software, especially if you use Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express (which are
prone to sending a virus to everyone in your address book when infected). But
note that Microsoft products are not the only vulnerable ones - some versions
of the virus may do similar with Eudora.
Though webmail is less prone
to viruses, an infected email is an infected email - activate the bad content
or attachment somehow and your computer will be infected. The attention to Outlook/Express
and other software is only that it automatically does things with incoming mail.
Up to date desktop protection should be required for every Windows computer
that is connected to the Internet. |
|
|
|
22. I received a message saying that I sent someone a virus. Is my computer infected |
| with a virus? |
|
| | Most
modern computer viruses spread by emailing themselves out as an attachment to
any email addresses they can find on an infected computer. Then they choose a
random address from that list to forge as the From: address. They can look for
these addresses in that infected computer's email address book, its web browser's
cache, or any documents saved anywhere on that computer. Some less-than-perfect
email virus scanners at some institutions believe the forged From: address, and
will warn the supposed sender that they are infected with a virus. What they fail
to tell you is that either you are infected with a virus or your email address
was forged by a virus that someone else's computer sent. We recommend purchasing
and installing anti-virus software and keeping it up to date on your computer. |
|
|
|
23. Why is it that whenever someone sends me an attachment, it keeps getting wiped out |
| automatically? There would be an error message indicating that the "OE filter potential virus". |
|
| | This
is a security feature set on your Outlook Express by default. Do the following
to disable this:
| 1. |
On your Outlook Express, click on Tools > Options > Security |
| 2. | Select
"Internet Zone" and UNCHECK "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that
could potentially be a virus" | | 3. | Click
Apply and then OK | |
|
|
|

25. Why do I get "550 5.7.1 <sender's email address> ... we do not relay <recipient's email address>" |
| delivery notice when I sent out email to someone? How do I resolve this problem? |
