Thought I would do my blog about staying safe on the net today and some golden rules you should think about before going headlong into something.

The first golden rule in my book is :- Never buy anything sent to you in your email !!

You don't know who it is sending you the advert, you don't know where the links point to in the email and it could be a spoof website that looks like a genuine site

My Second golden rule is :- Never answer any emails that ask you for money, say they need help or offer something so tempting it can't possibly be true, because usually it isn't.

Third golden rule :- set up a second email address and periodically send an email to yourself to both email addresses, then leave them sitting in your inbox, if they get opened you know someone else did it, call them "important or do not open" and that will tempt any would be email cracker into revealing he/she is in your mail server.

another golden rule :- Make sure all your links and files are stored on an external hard drive you can switch off, this way if you lose all your data on your pc everything is backed up and you can quickly instal everything again, always have two incase one breaks, if you use the same links you will never visit untrusted ones because you will always use the same source over and over.

I hope some of these tips will keep you all safish on the net and remember if it looks to good to be true it ALWAYS is
