D) logging into e-mail

Logging into e-mail itself is not a way to infect your computer with a virus. However, if you receive an infected attachment in an email and download or open it, your computer could become infected. Similarly, if you click on a malicious link in an email, your computer could be at risk of infection. Some best practices to protect your computer from viruses include avoiding downloading or opening suspicious emails or attachments, keeping your operating system and antivirus software up to date, and being cautious when downloading files or visiting unfamiliar websites.
