Rules and regulations for using the computer. I got all these from the same website. []

__ Surf smart: __
Don’t click on pop-up ads. Don’t say ‘yes’ when a website wants you to download some cute thing. Don’t sign up for free stuff … the purpose of the offer or contest is usually to get your email address. Don’t register on a site unless you’ve thoroughly checked it out; see what others say about the website.

__ Scan all downloaded files before opening: __
Have a designated folder for all downloads and specify the folder name in your browser settings == == __Guard your email address:__ Treat it like your social security number. Do not give your email address to vendors, stores, and others who do not need it.

__ Be careful opening email attachments: __
Opening an email attachment from a stranger is a guaranteed infection. But what if the email attachment comes from a friend? The rule of thumb is: don’t open it unless you’re expecting it, or it is very personalized

Never open an email from a stranger:
Many spam emails contain viruses and other malware in the actual email itself - not in an attachment. Delete these emails without opening them.
