Could be...but I use Outlook for work and AOL for the list and personal, and
all my problems this week have come to the AOL address. I've received at
least three virus attachments, or e-mails that apparently had them but the
server deleted.
I too never open an attachment from someone I do not know...and then only if
it is a .doc, .gif, .jpeg, etc....
I had a customs broker send me Bills of Lading yesterday and it came as
ABCDXXX.doc.exe. The exe was a red flag to me, so I deleted it and made him
fax it to me. So far at least, we've never had an infected fax.
