Q

Does the subject line or attachment file name make sense?

Junk e-mail and viruses often use random characters or words in the subject line or attachment file name to bypass content or spam filters. An unexpected message from a friend that has gibberish in the subject line might be sent by a virus that mimics (or spoofs) your friend's e-mail address. Subject line messages that urge you to do something, for example, Important! Open the attachment immediately! might indicate that the e-mail message might not be safe to open. An attachment with a double file name extension, such as Sample.jpg.exe, is not a file that someone would normally send, and could be a virus.

Important
 Before you open any e-mail that has an attachment, make sure that your antivirus program is up to date and that it's turned on (this allows it to scan attachments).
