About these impossible viruses: I am often in the position of teaching Third
World people the most basic concepts of information science. I keep seeing
these virus messages and then reading they are impossible except in
attachments. But I am sent a lot of attachments which I have no idea about
until I open them, and my anti-virus software has already run by the time I
open them. What am I supposed to do and how can I explain to beginners?
Thank you,
