Tips & Hints

• Junk mail: .
  Here are some useful tips for dealing with junk mail:

The best policy to deal with junk messages is to delete them as soon as you receive them.
Things that you shouldn't do with junk messages are:


1. Never respond to them - by replying to the message, you're giving them your email address, and confirming to them that your mail account is active.
2. Never respond to instructions to reply with the word "remove" - again, by replying to the message, you're giving them your email address, and confirming your account is active. Chances are that you won't be removed from the list, and you may in fact be added to more lists as a result.
3. Never click on URL (web addresses) contained within the message - again, this action could alert the message sender of the validity of your email address, or worse it leads you to a hijacked website which will infect your computer or attempt to take bank details from you by way of a deceptive scam marketing campaign.
4. Never sign up to sites that promise to remove your address from junk email lists as instead of giving your email address to be removed from a list, you've just added it to another.
5. If you receive an email with an attachment that you haven't asked for - DO NOT open the attachment. It's very common to spread viruses by email - when you open the attachment, you could be launching the virus on your computer.
6. Use the Junk mail filter in Outlook, and keep it updated via Windows Updates (which can be set to do this automatically)
7. Keep you Internet Security package up to date. Some packages include an additional Spam filter.
