Great point about never attempting to access a bank account on a public network. Another good idea is to use a VPN which would adds another level of security while using internet in public. There are a lot of good free ones too.

Also, something pretty simple would be to use FireFox instead of Internet Explorer.

I would say the phishing emails are the worst, because that is how they catch people.
Lets just put it, your bank or company would never send you an email asking you to verify your info because of an update or upgrade they are doing.

Even if they were, go call them yourself first.
