Hi Chuck,
Reading the e-mail will NOT infect your computer, If your virus information
is
up-to-date and you try to open the infected file (usually an .exe, .com,
.bat, ect..)
with your AV "Real Time Protection" on the AV will halt the exucution of the
infeted file and will prevent. So there shouldn't be any probelm if your
using
a good AV.
Best wishes,
Adam Hefner.
