  Malicious Scripts  
  GETTING THEM
T
he two most common ways that you can potentially expose your web browser to malicious scripts are:

1. Following untrusted links in web pages, email messages or newsgroup postings.

2. Using interactive forms on untrustworthy sites.

AVOIDING THEM
You could set your browser to disable all scripting languages. This will stop all scripts from running, malicious, friendly and useful, too big a price to pay for most.

Set your pop-up blocker to High and add trustworthy web sites to its trusted list, thus blocking all pop-ups on web sites that you are visiting for the first time or unwittingly.

If you use Outlook Express turn the Preview Pane off and meticulously delete any mail that you receive from an unknown source or with a suspect subject.
