<title>Do I need to scan my emails for viruses?</title>

Viruses are programs that cause problems if they manage to find their way
 onto your computer. A common way of them getting onto your computer is
 through email messages.

Viruses that can affect computers running Linux are quite rare, so you are
 <link xref="net-antivirus">unlikely to get a virus through email or
 otherwise</link>. If you receive an email with a virus hidden in it, it will
 probably have no effect on your computer. As such, you probably don’t need to
 scan your email for viruses.

You may, however, wish to scan your email for viruses in case you happen
 to forward a virus from one person to another. For example, if one of your
 friends has a Windows computer with a virus and sends you a virus-infected
 email, and you then forward that email to another friend with a Windows
 computer, then the second friend might get the virus too. You could install
 an anti-virus application to scan your emails to prevent this, but it’s
 unlikely to happen and most people using Windows and Mac OS have anti-virus
 software of their own anyway.
