The aim of these emails is to guide you to a web site that will infect your computer with a virus.
Particularly, if you use a version of the Windows operating system, it is highly recommended that you keep your computer updated with the latest patches and with the latest anti-virus and anti-spyware software.
It is also helpful to use alternative Web browsers, such as Firefox or Opera, instead of Internet Explorer.
