- Scan your machine for infection using Malwarebytes Antimalware and TrendMicro's Housecall online scanner. Remove all found infections. If a large number of infections are found, backup your data, wipe the hard drive, reinstall the operating system, and restore your data.
- Change the password on your mail account. Use a strong password - see Microsoft Password Checker.
- Purchase and install security suite software - Kaspersky, McAfee, Symantec, etc. and then keep the signatures up-to-date.
- If using Windows, configure Automatic Updates to run automatically or visit Windows Update manually after the second Tuesday of each month to install security updates to Windows.
