In Outlook there is a
feature known as the "Preview Pane". This is
an area of the screen where you can see the contents of
an email as soon as you highlight the email by simply
clicking once on it. The Preview Pane option actually
opens the email!
This is VERY dangerous
because many of today's email viruses will run when the
email is opened without you double-clicking on an
attachment or anything! Worse yet, remember that just
because an email comes from someone you know, it doesn't
mean it's virus-free!
We cannot stress enough,
the fact that many viruses can execute just by opening
an email. You don't have to double-click on attachments
to get infected by the new breed of email viruses.
When in doubt, don't even open, just delete.
That's where turning off
the preview pane comes in. If the preview pane is on,
every email you highlight is actually opened so that it
can be displayed in the preview pane...
Turn off your Preview
Pane now!
