Defend Yourself

VIRUS DEFENCE TIPS
Download and install AVG desktop antivirus software from here.
Update your desktop antivirus software regularly.
Keep Windows up to date. On XP Click Start > All Programs > Windows Update.
Avoid downloading software from the internet using programmes like Kazaa.
Don't open email attachments unless you are expecting them or if the email contains non personal messages like 'look at the attached'.

SPAM DEFENCE TIPS
Do not reply or correspond with spammers or click on links within a spam email. This may validate your email address which they may resell to other spammers.
Don't click on unsubscribe links in a spam email as this will validate your address.
Only sign up to reputable online services or mailing lists who display a privacy policy and promise not to resell or share your email address.
When filling in forms or subscribing online, use a catch-all email address with that websites name at the start e.g. yahoo@myemailaddress.com. This way you will be able to track if they have broken their privacy policy.
Set up a seperate email address for receiving subscriptions and signing up to online services, to keep them separate from your other emails.
