How to keep the email bad guys out!

The bad guys are at it again with an email invading inboxes worldwide claiming that the user must reactivate their AOL online account within the next 24 hours.  I want to encourage you not to click on ANY links in these emails. These users who click on these links are asked to provide their email address and in return, are being sent viruses.

A good rule of thumb to help spot these emails is to check the email message for any mispellings, smaller text size and the email address the email was sent from.

Here is an example of this: in an email I received, the very bottom reads 2010 American Online. The actual name is America Online. Looking for small things like this will help you from these email bad guys.
