An email virus consists of malicious code distributed in email messages to infect one or more devices. This malicious code can be activated in numerous ways: when the email recipient clicks on an infected link within the message, opens an infected attachment or interacts with the message in some other way.

 

 

 

Spam Emails
Another famous method to spread email viruses is spam mails. Spam mail is designed in such a way that the users could not resist themselves for clicking on them. The subject line is made catchy and attractive, for example - 70% Off on your Favorite Product. Users are presented with fake offers that would get activated only if they click the given link. That link is unsurprisingly malicious and can trigger the malware installation.
 
 
Interesting Facts: 

1. The malicious programs or codes spread through emails are widely known as 'email viruses.' 

2. Avoid opening the email attachments sent from unknown sources. The file extensions .dll, .exe, .com, .pif, .js, .scr, .dot, .xls, .xlt, etc., can be virus carrier. Always be careful while downloading such files from emails.
