Many attachments can still be harmful even if you are running antivirus. Many emails containing malware will encourage you to open an attachment. Contrast this to normal emails which almost always have a Subject and rarely mention your email username.

A malware email may contain your username in the subject or the attachment filename, or the Subject field may be blank.

Email subject or attachment contains username.

These emails rarely appear to come from an appropriate address, for example emails claiming to be from Fedex or UPS are likely to be malware if their From address does not match or ups.com. Most malware emails appear to be package delivery notices, invoices, fax/scans, or court notices. If the sender's address is unfamiliar or doesn't match an expected address for a company, then it is probably a malware email. Please exercise care when viewing emails and if you have any questions, contact DECS Support at 353-8891, or stop by 1325 Engineering Building.
