How Internet Wise Are You?

We all know that not every email (or Facebook posting) we get is from a friend or legitimate business. Some email is spam, some are scams, and some is phishing. Some emails and Facebook posts that on the surface look like they are from people or companies we know and do business with are really attempts by bad guys to do you or your computer harm. If you guess wrong, you could infect your computer with a virus or worm, or your bank account could be emptied.

How savvy are you in picking out the real from the fake? Take the following test, then check out what you need to look out for so you can do business online without inadvertently infecting your computer or giving the bad guys your financial information: http://www.sonicwall.com/furl/phishing/

How did you do?
