Attachments and Viruses Before opening attachments, be sure you know what you're opening and where the attachment is coming from. Below are the most common file attachments that may possibly contain viruses: Suspicious File Extensions | .EXE | .VBS | .PIF | .COM | .BAT | .DOT | .DOC | .SCR |
If you receive a suspicious email with a file attachment using any of these file extensions, you may consider deleting them instead of opening them. If you do decide to open an attachment, we suggest saving the file to disk first, then running a virus scanner on the file. For instructions on how to save an attachment to disk, click here.
