Viruses can spread through email by being attached to an email message. The virus may come in the form of an executable file, which when opened, can activate the virus. In some cases, an email message may contain a malicious link or website address which, when clicked, can download and install malicious software on the user’s computer. In addition, some viruses can be spread by simply opening an email message, as the virus code may be embedded in the message itself.
