Many of us have already been able to appreciate the delights of the Internet. But we should also not forget that in the Global Network we are waiting for a variety of dangers, at first glance imperceptible. And the main ones are viruses and SPAMs. As you know, SPAM is mass advertising mailings, and many of us are subjected to daily SPAM "bombardments". However, viruses are much more dangerous than SPAM. A virus attack on your computer can lead to massive data loss. In addition, you can accidentally send the virus to all your friends via ICQ or e-mail. However, if you follow a number of simple rules, then the risk of infection with a computer virus can be reduced to zero.
First of all, be attentive to the emails you receive. If you receive an email in which your friend is listed as the sender, do not rush to open it. Try to find out if this person actually sent you something. If there was no message from his side, recommend that he check his computer for viruses. If it is not possible to contact, and you really need to find out what is contained in the letter, download the sent file to your computer, but in no case open it immediately. Check which extension this file has. If exe, com, pif, vbs, vsh, lnk, bat, cmd, then do not open it until the circumstances of receipt are clarified.
