A simple email can not be a virus, however, hackers can attack your ISP, and if they (The ISP) are not top notch at what they do, you could be vulnerable to virus attack while you are online.

OLDER VERSIONS of lynx are particularily bad for this.

A techie Geek once tried to explain to me how you could "NUKE" someone who is online by breaking into their ISP and then doing something that sends the virus through a back Channel.

I didn't understand what he was trying to say.

So he showed me.

He hacked a local ISP and Nuked someone (knocked them offline)
