The days are long
gone when communication was a long and tedious process that required several
steps to get through to the receiver of the message. Now post offices and fax
machines and other communication devices from the yesteryear are nearly
obsolete and are barely used anymore. This is all due to the one miracle of
modern technology which is the small but might email! It isn’t any surprise to
know that most prefer to just send a super quick email over even picking up the
phone and making a phone call! This is efficiency at its very best and very
fast. No one would have thought this possible even as close as a decade back.
That is how quick and how era-altering fast the transition was for email. Now
along with the good, there always has to be some amount of bad balancing it out
– this is normal in every aspect of our world. In this case, it was the
evolution of junk mail, or spam as we commonly refer to it. These junk mails
are not just innocent emails that got sent to the wrong address, they are often
very dangerous and highly potent and are built with nasty undertones to wreak
havoc on your system at the given opportunity. Along with this, is the
phenomenal rise of email scams and phishing mails which often fool innocent
users into opening their machines to vulnerability, viruses, identity theft,
not to mention information and data theft.
Attachments on mails from an unknown source are the first sign that
something is wrong, and these should be deleted immediately. They may contain
dangerous viruses which have the potential to infiltrate your machine, steal
your data and much more. You need to install effective virus protection software which offers email support while also
giving you total internet security.
This ensures that any attachment in emails can be scanned and you are intimated
immediately of any potential threats.
