Don't believe it for a second. Regardless of what program you use to open an attachment, open is open. That's like saying if you strike a lighter over an open can of gasoline instead of a match, it won't ignite the gas. The best defense is to keep your virus definitions up-to-date. We have so many emails going back and forth to numerous corporate big-shots, a virus could easily get opened by mistake.Originally posted by Jaybird
I've heard that if one uses MS Word to open an attachment, even if it is infected, it won't effect your system unless you file the attachment on your HD.
