Do not click on links in email messages unless you are sure they are safe. You can hover over a link to see where it will take you before clicking on it. Do not enter any personal information on websites unless you are sure the website is legitimate.

Keep your operating system and software up to date with the latest security patches. This will help prevent vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malware.
