Watch email attachments

When you receive attachments in your email from friends and family look at the stuff they are saying in the text and if it is off base from what they normally would send it's probably a virus. The best thing to do is send them an email and ask if they sent it.  Maybe call or text just to be sure. Most times you can right click the attachment and it should be an option to scan the file with your ant-virus. Most times when people get a virus they blame everyone else who used their computer for the virus, it couldn't be them because they know where they have been but a virus can come from anywhere at anytime. Be aware of  who is sending and why and only open attachments if it's something you asked for or you confirm with the sender.
