Common guys - self defense is in order

Hey'all!

We're under attack. Worms, viruses and all sorts of VSTD's (Virtual STD). They spread by posting something on your Facebook wall, twitting, or sending a simple email.
And it's always the same story - some teasing text followed by a weird looking link. 
You click - KABOOM!
You're infected, on your way to infect your friends and family, and lovely peaceful strangers.

Now what can you do?

1. Don't click the link!
2. Seriously - do not click!
3. Install a web browser that's less of an insult to online security - I recommend Google's Chrome.
4. Install an extension such as linkpeelr the may show you what's underneath the weird link.
5. If you're not sure you know where the link leads - DO NOT CLICK!

Any questions?
