In the volume of mail spoofing these days it's best to just not click on any links from emails or open attachments directly from email.
Copy paste the links in a browser or copy the attachment on your desktop, right-click and scan with your local anti-virus.
If you stick to this routine you minimise the risks of infection.
I got caught last month with a mail from my solicitor and I stupidly clicked on the dropbox link he sent me as I was expecting documents from him anyway. It wasn't from him. The only thing that saved my a$$ was my fortigate firewall. All it takes is a moment of inattention.
