Microsoft Outlook can launch attachments automatically
Yes,
without your clicking on the attachment, your system can get infected by a worm
or virus because certain unpatched versions of Outlook has this bug. And many
systems of Outlook are not patched up because PC owners just cannot be bothered. Hence,
even though most users today are informed of the dangers of clicking on certain
attachments such as .EXE or .COM, their trusted email program may still launch
the virus-infected attachments.
Typical
anti-virus desktop solutions do not detect viruses in incoming
emails
Typical
anti-virus software works by scanning your PC's memory, entire
hard-disk and floppy disks for viruses. An email attachment
that just arrived in your inbox is very likely to go unnoticed
because the anti-virus software is not scanning the attachments
directory of your email software.
