Rules to avoid the fear of computer virus

There are a lot of computer virus spreading out. There are some rules to be observed.

  1. Make sure to put down your name and your school in the subject line so that the receivers can learn who has sent the message before they open the mail. Avoid saying in the subject line simply "Hi!" or "It's me."
  2. Greet the receiver by specifying his/her name so that the receiver can learn that the message is written to him/her. The man who spreads computer virus usually sends hundreds of hundreds of mail with his virus at random without knowing the name of he receiver. Watch out for the mail without a proper greeting.
  3. It's polite to add your name and email address at the end of your message.
  4. Don't attach any files other than Word, Excell and JPEG files to your mail.
  5. Explain what it is when you attach  above-mentioned file to your mail.
