> The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) urges computer users to not open
> unsolicited (spam) e-mails, including clicking links contained within those

> anti-virus software running on their machines to detect and deflect malicious
> software.
> The IC3 recommends the public do the following:
> * Adjust the privacy settings on social networking sites you frequent
> to make it more difficult for people you know and do not know to post
> content to your page. Even a “friend” can unknowingly pass on multimedia that’
> s actually malicious software.
> * Do not agree to download software to view videos. These
> applications can infect your computer.
> * Read e-mails you receive carefully. Fraudulent messages often
> feature misspellings, poor grammar, and nonstandard English.
> * Report e-mails you receive that purport to be from the FBI.
> Criminals often use the FBI’s name and seal to add legitimacy to their fraudulent
> schemes. In fact, the FBI does not send unsolicited e-mails to the public.
