have to "open" your mail to be infected. >>
But you have to download it, don't you? On AOL I always read my mail
online--I pay the unlimited time fee. So, since the email is never saved on
my hard drive I assume I am immune to this sort of virus. Right? But I think
there are other providers that automatically download the mail to you without
your having a choice in the matter and that's where the danger comes in I
think.
