Threat from new virus-infected emails which take over your PC even if you DON'T open their attachments

Threat from new virus-infected emails which take over your PC even if you DON'T open their attachments: "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.

Security experts say that the development is 'particularly dangerous'."

  1. Some times Emails are also harmful. Because the hackers will send any of the malicious software or any links containing any kind of virus related things. So we should be aware and protect the PC from Email Infections.
