My understanding is that most data coming into my computer is first reviewed by my anti-virus or other software and effectively blocked.
I think an exception to that rule is if I download a file (especially one with an .exe extension).
My question is if I open an e-mail and then click hypertext within that e-mail, does my anti-virus software block any virus or other malware?

Most antivirus packages specifically concentrate on files of this type if you enable "continuous protection" or whatever in the options.
