My dad is really concerned about picking up a new virus or something. Because I handle a large amount of email attachments, he wanted me to make sure I would do it in a safe way, so he told me to post this question here. I am of the opinion that if I am sent an attached text file, there is no way it can hurt me, no matter what I do with it (unless someone sends me virus.cpp, and I compile and run it). I am pretty sure that if I do not open any executable files and disable all macros, I am safe. What are your opinions? Am I setting myself up for disaster? I would really appreciate any help. Thanks! James
