AVG E-mail Client Integration

Some e-mail clients enable to activate virus by preview of infected e-mail message; therefore, reconsider using the preview.

Consider the possibility of filtering e-mail attachments by their extensions. You probably do not desire to receive executable files. Do not open and execute suspicious files. The most suspicious are executable files (especially with EXE, COM, SCR, PIF, LNK, BAT, VBS, JS, VBE, JSE extensions) and documents (with DOC, XLS, PPT extensions) that contain macros. All files with an extra or hidden extension, as well as attachments received in messages from an unknown sender are highly suspicious. Be careful as even a message from an authentic partner could be infected! Many viruses are able to fake a sender's address and use files and folders on infected computer as the source of addresses. Do not inform anyone that he/she sent you a virus, as it is highly possible that the sender's address is fake and the virus was sent from a totally different computer.
