An easier, more hassle-free solution is to avoid running any unidentified
executable attachments you recieve in your e-mail (particularly if they are
poorly disguised as other types of files). AFAIK, this is the only way you
can possibly (within reason) get a virus from your e-mail. In Windows, that
means *.exe, *.com, *.bat (sort of), *.pif, and *.lnk (I think). Though
other files might harm your computer if you open them in other programs
(like macros, scripts, or .reg files).
