If any link in an email look suspect then don't even think of clicking on it, just delete the email. Copying and pasting it to the address bar will do exactly the same as if you had clicked on it in the email.

If the link is to a malicious web site, it doesn't matter at all how you get to that site--double-clicking and copy and pasting will have the same result. If you fear that the site is malicious, stay away from it completely.

By using certain coding, one can change the actual website to anything he or she wants. > I'm fairly new to Computers and have just been shown how to 'copy and > paste'. > If I 'copy and paste' a suspect link(in e-mail) to my address bar,would > that way be safe for me to open in address bar. > Have been shown how to copy and paste Licence Numbers,etc,very handy. |
