Get Spam and Other Email Risks Under Control

Install a high quality antispam program from a trusted vendor, along with an antivirus program that scans email attachments for viruses.
Don't respond to spam emails or click on links within the text—even if the link says "unsubscribe."
Don't send vital personal or financial information over email. Email is generally unencrypted, and unscrupulous individuals with access to your provider's servers can read them.
Don't open email attachments sent by anyone you don't know or that you weren't expecting to receive. Even when email appears to come from an acquaintance, verify its authenticity before opening attached files or clicking on links within the text.
Watch out for phishing scams and other suspicious email. Don't let someone trick or scare you into sending your bank account number or other vital information. Confirm the legitimacy of all charity requests, investment opportunities, and unsolicited product promotions. And remember, if an offer looks too good to be true, it probably is.
