Computer Tip of the Day "04-14"

E-card Do's and Don'ts.

- - Don't click on links in emails announcing an e-Card or on e-Card attachments. If it's a legitimate e-Card, the sender may be disappointed that you didn't get it, but weigh that against the risk of your computer getting infected if you do click.
- - Don't reply to emails or pop-up messages offering quick fixes for viruses. Legitimate computer security companies don't sell their products by spam email or by using pop-ups.
- - Don't cut and paste the link from the message into your Internet browser. Phishers can make links look like they go to one place, but that actually send you to a different site.
