Confirm the regular renewal of anti-virus, anti-spyware and other internet security software on your PC. Use it regularly and keep it up-to-date.
If you notice suspicious activity in your accounts, report it immediately to the appropriate parties.
Do not download or open any attachments sent to you by unsolicited email. Once opened, these programs may contain malicious programs that can compromise your PC’s security.
