1 in 290 emails are malware

About 1 in 290 e-mails in February were malicious, making the month one of the most prolific periods for the threats, according to Symantec’s February 2011 MessageLabs Intelligence Report.

So think twice before you open an e-mail from someone you don't know.

If you still want to check it out, clear out your spam folder, then mark it as spam. Then find in the spam folder (only one if you cleared it before hand) and then open it.
In the majority of e-mail servers, usually disable html/java script in e-
mails. Which would disable any launch programs from an e-mail. However if you click anything in that e-mail it could take you to a website which you will NOT be protected.

Happy Browsing...
