Don't bank on e-mail links

If you get an e-mail from your bank,make sure the e-mail is indeed from your bank and that you are being routed to the bank.Put your cursor over the link and look at the address,or right click on the properties and see where it will lead you.Always go to the bank site via its main site in a new window,not via a link in an e-mail.Also,if your computer pops up with a security certificate and the signature.Even then,certificate are easily faked.If you must continue using the internet,do not do anything sensitive.Best thing to do?Walk away.
