There are several things you can do. Probably the most important thing is to use common sense- don't click on links titled "13.42.46", or anything that looks like that. Be careful about where you enter your email address: Believe me, you will not win $10,000 just from being the 1,000,000th person to visit the site. One other thing you can do is get an email scanner- AVG is just one of the many anti-virus programs there are.
