You can get a virus just by logging onto your computer. Certain web sites even have them so as soon as you go to a page *POW* your infected. So, ALWAYS keep your antivirus up to date. I use GMail (they seem to scan EVERYTHING that comes in & yes have yet to have a virus from them. BUT still, won't take that chance.)

Only if you open a letter that has a virus attached to it.
Never open email from people or companies you do
not know.
