第六十八课 不要打开陌生邮件!  
Lesson 68 Don't open strange e-mails!

Computer crashes often occur for many reasons, and one of them is that computers are infected with viruses. Nowadays, more and more rogue e-mails spread viruses. It's better not to open strange attachments sent to your e-mail, instant messenger or Skype. You should install legitimate antivirus software on your computer and delete junk mail regularly.
