Threat from new virus-infected emails which take over your PC even if you DON'T open their attachments
Any clues as to what I should look for in my in-box?A new class of cyber attack is threatening PCs - emails which infect PCs without the user having to open an attachment.
The user will not even be warned this is happening - the only message that appears is 'loading'.
The email automatically downloads malicious software into your computer from elsewhere the moment a user clicks to open it.
The mails themselves are not infected - and thus will not 'set off' many web-security defence packages.
