Why am I still getting lots of scam emails and messages. I thought I was protected by Trend.

I'm fed up with scams. I thought Trend protected me.

Hi @marjarees,

I'm sorry to hear that you're still receiving scam emails and messages despite having the security software.
To enhance your protection against scam emails and messages, consider these additional steps:

  1. User Awareness: Educate yourself and your family or employees about common phishing techniques and how to recognize suspicious emails.

  2. Regular Updates: Keep your operating system, software, and antivirus program up to date. Security patches and updates often include fixes for vulnerabilities.

  3. Strong Passwords: Use strong, unique passwords for online accounts, and consider using a password manager to help you keep track of them.

  4. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): Enable 2FA wherever possible to add an extra layer of security to your accounts.

  5. Email Authentication: Implement email authentication methods like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to verify the authenticity of incoming emails.

  6. Email Verification: Double-check the sender's email address and domain, especially if the email claims to be from a trusted source.

  7. Report Scams: If you receive a scam email, report it to your email provider or relevant authorities to help improve email security.
