Dont EVER log in to ANY site from a link sent in an email EVER EVER EVER!!!!
The simple way to keep (Fairly) secure is to type the site address into your web browser and when you get to the site save it as a favourite or a bookmark or whatever your browser calls them.
If you EVER receive an email from ANY site telling you that you must log in, you need to verify your details, your account has been suspended etc DO NOT CLICK THE LINK IN THE EMAIL. simply open your browser and click the link in your favourites for that site.
Use an adware detection program, you can get a good (free one) from lavasoft, just do a google search for ad aware (Dont go to the sponsored links, always go to the manufacturers site)
Use an antivirus / firewall solution, any retail package will do, I use Norton personally and find it to be very reliable without being overly complicated.
Finally, how much is your security worth? you can buy Norton Internet security suite and the professional ad aware version for less than $100, so just how much do you value your security?
