One great way to avoid problems online is simply to not click on links! Of course, that would probably render the web all but useless to you (well... I guess you could just type in url's but that would get old very quickly). You probably followed a link to get to this post. Actually, you probably followed a shortened link to get to this post.A place to talk about information security, Internet safety and, of course... coffee!
Thoughtful, sometimes controversial, but not following the crowd unless I'm in line at the coffee shop.
