Multiple Choice

Brady has just received an e-mail claiming that his bank's records show some possible errors in his account and requesting that he click on a link to a site where he can confirm his password, social insurance number, and account numbers. The e-mail looks official and contains his bank's logo. What should Brady do?

B) Immediately scan for spyware and viruses and only provide the requested information if the scan shows his computer hasn't been infected.
C) View the message as legitimate since today's browsers contain very effective filters that provide excellent protection against viruses, adware, spyware, and spam.
D) Immediately click on the link and follow instructions at that site in order to get the possible problems cleared up as soon as possible.
