I recently decided to see what life is like without Kaspersky Internet Security and have installed MSE. I'm concerned about receiving malware via SPAM etc. Does MSE scan emails and/or attachments? Is there anything else I can do (that is free) to minimise malware grief?
That's fair enough, but what about dodgy URLs (especially ones that look plausible to non-IT mortals)? Would something like OpenDNS or Google Public DNS (hopefully) cover this? – Umber Ferrule – 2010-03-01T13:36:13.823
@Umber - your browser should warn you if you are following dodgy links to known malware sites, but yes if OpenDNS blocks these then that might be the way to go. Not rendering the e-mail as HTML (as I mentioned) means that dodgy URLs will be exposed and not automatically followed. – ChrisF – 2010-03-01T13:41:58.993
@UmberFerrule I believe that Google Public DNS does not have a feature that allows it block dodgy (malware, phishing, etc.) URLs.
