Tips for Spam emails:
Never reply to Spam. Replying confirms your email address (confirmed addresses get more Spam). Never use the unsubscribe me option in Spam. This will also confirm your address.

Tips to avoid Phishing:
You get a phone call from someone who says they are from your bank. They want to update your checking account information. Would you give them your social security number and birth date? Of course, you would not! No bank would do this by phone. This is a scam called Phishing. It happens regularly by email. You may get an email (ex. Ebay, PayPal, Wal-Mart) asking you to click a link and update your information. If you click on that link, you may go to a website that looks legitimate but is really a scam to get your private information.  For more information on Phishing visit the Anti Phishing Work Group.

Spyware can be any software that covertly gathers user information through the user's Internet connection without his or her knowledge, usually for advertising purposes. It is commonly installed, unknowingly, while installing other programs.
Once installed, the spyware monitors user activity on the Internet and transmits that information in the background to someone else. Spyware can also gather information about e-mail addresses and even passwords and credit card numbers.
