Can you get a virus on your email?

Can clicking a spam email give you virus?

Report Spam

What is you’ve Got Mail for?
In late 2018, with the benefit of 20 years’ worth of retrospect, you could read You’ve Got Mail as a hopeful treatise on the human-communing powers of the internet. Or as a subtle commentary on the all-consuming power of capitalism. Or as a feature-length piece of product placement for America Online.
Is You Got Mail based on a true story?
Influences. You’ve Got Mail is based on the 1937 Hungarian play Parfumerie by Miklós László and its adaptations. Parfumerie was later remade as The Shop Around the Corner, a 1940 film by Ernst Lubitsch, which in 1949 was adapted as a movie musical, In the Good Old Summertime by Robert Z.
Can my e-mail address be infected?
Your e-mail address itself cannot be infected. If the account is just being spoofed but not actually used to send emails that seem to be coming from you, then fixing the problem becomes more difficult as it’s somewhat like locking the barn door after the cows are all gone.
