In cases of receiving spam email with a link inside, this is usually an invitation to get spyware on your computer. All you have to do is click on the link, and without you knowing it, the spyware is downloaded to your computer and installed. You won't realize this until later when you start seeing the results of the install. You'll begin seeing pop-ups, and a slowdown of your system. [br][br]Whatever you do, don't click on any link in an email that comes from someone you do not know. This is especially true if the email comes as spam. This is a great invitation for spyware. Your best option is to ignore it.[br][br]In your case, since you already did click on the link, I would run some kind of anti-spyware program to find and delete the spyware before it starts doing damage to your system.

With the advent of wireless Internet, more and more computer users are entering the world of cyber space.
Yet, while these users are well aware of the importance of the protection of their computer when hooked up to regular internet providers, they are often oblivious to the fact that the same cyber dangers, and in fact even more, exist in the world of WiFi.
What you may not know is that same Internet connection that makes it possible to check your email from the comfort of your bed also makes it easier for hackers to access your personal information.
It is for this reason, the sharing of the wireless Internet connection, that protecting your computer when wireless is even more important than ever before.
