Does the subject line or attachment file name make sense?
Does the subject line or attachment file name make sense?
✍: Guest
Junk e-mail and viruses often use random characters or words in the subject line or attachment file name to
bypass content or spam filters. An unexpected message from a friend that has gibberish in the subject line might
be sent by a virus that mimics (or spoofs) your friend's e-mail address. Subject line messages that urge you to do
something, for example, Important! Open the attachment immediately! might indicate that the e-mail message
might not be safe to open. An attachment with a double file name extension, such as Sample.jpg.exe, is not a file
that someone would normally send, and could be a virus.
Important
Before you open any e-mail that has an attachment, make sure that your antivirus program is up to date and that
it's turned on (this allows it to scan attachments).
