Is there a way to tell before you open your email if it contains a virus? I do have a Norton antivirus program

In General, a virus would come in an attachment for you to OPEN if you chose to- and would be an exe. file of some sort. If you are using Norton AV , and it is up to date, you need to ensure it is set up to actively check your emails prior to your reading them, and it should then find any virus or trojan known to be so. Most anti virus programs have the same capablity, and some email programs have it built in, such as yahoo, scans the attachment prior to your opening it.





Never open an attachment from someone you Don't know, is a good idea in any case.

Reply:Yahoo usually filters it out, or when you open it and the virus is in there Norton usually has a popup box come up and tells you its been deleted and is off your computer.
