I haven't encountered a virus in years. Of course I don't open strange attachments and I don't click on strange links that lead to who knows where. If I get an e-mail from my bank or any other service provider that I consider important (those that have to do with money, accounts, personal information) I'm more careful with the links and usually go to their website directly instead of following the links provided in the e-mail. 1) Anyone can send an e-mail from any address, I could send you one from nojive@gmail.com no problem at all. 2) Don't open executable attachments (.exe). If you open a .rar or .zip file then don't click on the .exe files it may contain. 3) Opening e-mails is fine as long as you use a secure email client such as the Gmail web client or Thunderbird. 4) Don't click on links that lead to strange addresses (check status bar) especially if using IE. If you receive an e-mail from important organizations then don't click on links, go to their website directly. Remember those 4 things and you're golden. No need to be over-paranoid. Loading...
