I received an email in my bulk folder with a link to a you tube video, but the video would not open?

My email sometimes does that..First right click the link, click properties. And Make SURE its a youtube URL. If its not, its a virus. If it IS a youtube URL, right click it again, and hit open with new window/tab

There was a spam of a fake youtube video sent out yesterday.

Tip: NEVER click on links from people you do not know.

Run your Anti Virus on a full scan, also scan for SPYWARE.

NEVER EVER EVER click links in emails you don’t know the sender of, many contain spoofed links and do NOT take you to the site they claim, but to a site that confirms your email is valid and then passed it to more spammers, and possibly infects you with spyware / trojans.

To check for spyware . . .

I’d reccomend these 2, run each in turn
ADAWARE fro (Free personal version)
also SPYBOT S&D from (Again free for home use)

Also worth having in toolbox is CCLEANER from again a free download, and a good general windows tidyup utility.
