Following are the most recent batch of spam, trogan, and virus alerts sent to my email filter. Be on the lookout for them and don’t fall for any of their schemes.

Your best protection is to keep your computer updated and keep your antivirus program running at all times.

Please keep in mind that all the links below lead not to the virus itself but to the www.OnlyMyeMail.com alert.

I thought the eBay alert one was especially clever but a fraud attempt nonetheless.

Be careful out there and always practice safe computing.
