please update your firewall as soon as possible?


okay. I received this email in my bulk section. What do you think of this? Is this site/software legit? Should I download it?

Below is some of the email msg. Thanks!

There is a high possibility that your PC’s Firewall security settings
may become exploited by malicious websites without your knowledge. This
could easily lead to the following attacks on your PC’s hard drive:

- Unwanted Virus Downloads
- Uncontrollable Trojan horse attacks
- The running of unwanted script programs
- The installation of malicious spyware

If your PC is not protected correctly then these attacks could allow
hackers to track your movements across the Internet. It also means that
your information, ranging from passwords to credit card numbers, can be
stored by sites that you visit. A successful hacker could examine this
information and extract it, setting the stage for identity theft,
credit card fraud, or worse.

P.S. I’m worried. What should I do? Thanks in advance!

How can a company reduce loosing requested email communications to spam/bulk filters?


I work for a virtual company that provides resume evaluations by email to requesting career searchers. I have to do a lot of follow up work just to get this information to the requester because many times my email is sent to their bulk / spam folders never to be seen again. I have noticed this happens most with hotmail and aol addresses.

The emails have no attachments and do not include the word “free”, so I am not sure why this happens. Are small businesses tagged by large email providers?

Any suggestions on improving this issue?
