3. Even if your computer is secure, miscreants depend on your trust. Be
suspicious of messages, files, software; even if it appears to come from
a
person or company you trust.

    Anti-spam, anti-spyware, anit-virus, anti-phishing tools can help.
But
    don't assume because you are using them, you can click on everything
    and still be safe.  The miscreants are always finding new ways
around
    them.

    It may just be human nature, but people seem to engage in more risky
    behavior when they believe they are protected.

4. If your computer is compromised, unplug it until you can get it
fixed.

     Its not going to fix itself, and ignoring the problem is just going
     to get worse.
