Control What you Share: Spammers collect e-mail addresses from chatrooms, websites, and nowadays especially Social Networking websites. So you got to be very careful about what you share, whom you add as friend, and what you explore on Facebook. Never Scrap your Phone number or home address on facebook, this gives rise yet another big thing “Identity theft”.
Never open unknown emails: Be cautious about opening any attachment or downloading any files from emails you receive. Don’t open an email attachment — even if it looks like it’s from a friend unless you are expecting it or know what it contains. If you send an email with an attached file, include a text message explaining what it is.
Use a Good Antivirus software : and keep it up to date. Look for anti-virus software that recognizes current viruses, as well as older ones. I always Recommend use AVG Free edition – The best (***** from hacker9) And If you have some money to throw use the Premium version.
