Don't Let Virus on Your Computer

If you don't recognize it, don't open it. That's my motto. Just the other day one got me. I thought, "This email looks interesting." I opened it and all of a sudden my antivirus software started going crazy. I had clicked on it, that's all I did, opened an email.

I had to close my browser to get the pop ups to stop. My email program is online, I use Gmail. Shutting the browser stopped the script from trying to open. Then when I signed back in I could just delete the email. I also had my McAfee running. If I didn't who knows what would have happened to my computer.
