Can a virus infect the PC via right click?
Say for example i have an executable on my desktop which might be a virus.
Running it could obviously harm my system, but what if i just rightklick the file without running it?
Can rightklicking a virus somehow activate it? Could the rightklick make use of a zeroday exploit or anything similar?
What if i where to rightklick and open the file properties tab to find out more details about the potenital virus, could this be dangerous?
I've asked myself this question for a while, is the rightklick safe?
