For the record, I got 9 out of 10.

I thought the first one may have been a fraud.

My rule of thumb is this: If it asks you to click a link in the email itself, it's probably a phish. If it tells you to go to the site and log on to your account and make changes, chances are it's legit.

I delete everything (even from Earthlink) that is not known to me and most emails with attachments unless I get a valid email from the party previously telling me that I will be receiving an email with an attachment.

And even from those I *know*, I check the subject header first.

Hiram runs the Spybot and other programs regularly and keeps the system clean and defragged.

I think we do well. [img]smile.gif[/img]
