[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 748847, member: 13556"] I have blundered. I recently got an e-mail touting free online education from Nikon, which is happening. However, the e-mail wasn't from Nikon; it was from [email]donotreply@mcd.nikon.com[/email]. When I visitedn the link in the message, it gave an error message, which puzzled me until I went back and saw where the e-mail originated. I violated one of the basic rules of internet linking, which is to pay attention to what you're doing and what you link to from e-mails. I didn't pay attention, and now know that the site the link visits appears to is not run by Nikon. I've scanned for viruses twice, and the results are that there isn't an infection, but I'm still kicking myself. So, remember that to be safe online, be vigilant online. If you want to visit Nikon's free education streaming opportunities, link to them through Nikon's website, not a link in an e-mail. Be wary! WM [/QUOTE]
