What should you be doing now? The same thing you were doing before. Protect yourself. Have a Virus protection program, run your anti-spyware program, block the spam before it get into your mailbox. Keep your programs up to date.

Update your operating system. This alone is one the most important this you can do to protect your computer. It doesn’t matter if you are running the Apple or Microsoft operating system. Keep your Windows computer updated with the most current patches. This may seem like work, but it is something that can prevent a lot of problem with your computer’s security. With Windows make sure do a Microsoft Windows Update. (Just open Internet Explorer and click on Tools then Windows Update. Do it now)

One of the easiest ways to protect your computer from spam is using Postini’s Virus and Spam protection. This is only available to you if you have your own domain name you receive mail at. Postini is better than amazing and what a fine job it does. Keeping the spam out of your mail box in the first place is the best way to prevent infecting your computer. The way Postini does this is to perform the filtering of all the mail prior to it getting your domains mailbox.
