Dear Computer Lady,
I eagerly read your newsletter every week?"it’s my go-to guide for understanding the computer world. As a "newbie," I'm particularly concerned about handling emails from people I don’t recognize in Outlook Express. I'm worried that opening them could introduce viruses to my system.
Is there a way to identify and delete suspicious emails without risking contamination?
Best regards,
BillDear Bill,
You’re wise to be cautious. Here are some steps to safely handle suspicious emails:
1. Enable Email Filtering: Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to see if they offer email filtering services. These can help block harmful emails before they reach you.
2. Use Antivirus Software: Ensure you have a reliable antivirus program installed, like the free AVG software. Keep it updated to automatically remove threats from emails before you read them. You can find AVG on my website at [www.computerlady.org](http://www.computerlady.org).
3. Turn Off Auto Preview in Outlook Express: To prevent emails from opening automatically:
- Click "View" then "Layout."
- In the "Window Layout Properties" dialog, find the "Preview Pane" section.
- Uncheck "Show preview pane" and click "OK."
This setting will require you to double-click to open messages, ensuring they don’t automatically display.
Best wishes,
ElizabethBy following these steps, you’ll enhance your email security and manage your inbox with confidence.
