• Ignore E-mails from Unknown senders
• Never Disclose Personal Details
• Never reply Unknown Mails

Neglect Pop-up Messages

While browsing the Internet, you could have noticed pop-up messages and forms. These pop-up messages that claim to offer you something free should be ignored as if you fill in the form providing your personal details, then it is sure that you will get spam mails in future. Do not provide your personal details like e-mail address, bank account numbers, credit card numbers in unsecured sites and Internet chat rooms. Check whether your e-mail address is posted in any of the forums. Just enter your e-mail id in ‘Google’ or any of the popular ‘search engines’ and click the ‘search’ button. If your mail address is anywhere in the Internet, you will come to know about it. Immediately, try to remove it otherwise it may be a root cause for getting spam mails on a regular basis.

Ignore E-mails from Unknown senders

Most of the spam mails come with fake offers claiming that you have won a lottery. Never open e-mail messages from unknown senders and delete it immediately because accidentally, if you have opened it, do not go on further to click the links in the mail. These links may contain virus or any other malicious contents that might harm your computer. Mostly if the spam only works when you open the link or open the file. These malicious content can steal your personal information or force you to download malicious software. If you are constantly receiving spam mails in your email address, then deactivate that e-mail id and create another fresh id.

Never Disclose Personal Details

If you have two different e-mail ids and are browsing the net frequently or purchasing products regularly online then never disclose the personal mail id on the Internet. Always keep your key business and personal details, including social security card number, credit card numbers, and bank or financial details at a safe place by locking them with a password protector software.

Never reply Unknown Mails

Never reply to the unknown or spam e-mail messages. This is a common mistake done by many people that they reply to unknown or attractive mails and their computer gets infected. However, all the e-mail service providers give an option to scan the attachments first. Never download the attachment without scanning.
