Email Attachments May Contain Virus'

In these rough economic times, it's more important than ever to make sure your company's computer network is safe from outside threats.

As a general rule - don't open any email attachments - check with the sender to make sure they meant to send it to you.  Period.  I know this can be a pain and means you can't immediately access information, but trust me, it won't be worth it if upon accessing that one attachment an all out attack is launched on your computer.
