“A virus can infect a computer by simply going to a website?“
Yes! Absolutely.
“Or by simply receiving an e-mail that you do NOT open any attachments?“
This was one I didn’t know the answer to (it has changed over time), so I did a bit of research (aka Googling).
The best answer I can give is that it’s far less likely to get a virus by just opening the email itself (without opening any attachments or clicking on any links), but it is possible.
