AnswerCan printing launch a virus?

    I was sent an email stating it is possible to launch a virus by only printing something off the internet.  There are no details to pass on from this statement.  Am I wrong when I say it is not possible without opening an attachment?

    Hi,

     

    Thank you for posting.

     

    From your description, I am not sure what you want to try. I’d like to confirm the following.

    1. Do you deploy Forefront Client Security?

    2. What do you want to print? Would you please tell us more details?

     

    Regards,
