[QUOTE="Randy B. Singer, post: 1710172, member: 190607"] I'm sure that I, and others, will think of more to add to the list that I just gave. A couple more, though of less importance than the above, are: - Don't open e-mail file attachments from people you don't know. (Though malicious file attachments are just about always aimed at Windows users and usually are Windows executables that won't run on a Mac.) - Don't click on links to Web pages in e-mails from people you don't know (however, you can hover your cursor over such a link, and a pop-up will appear telling you where the link will really take you, and you can then decide if it looks safe). (Once again, this is more of a Windows thing....it's good to be a Mac user.) - Turn on "Macro Virus Protection" in the Microsoft Office applications (though macro viruses are exceedingly rare these days) tps://kb.iu.du/d/agzk (outdated link removed) [/QUOTE]
