Always ensure that you are careful of opening strange attachments sent to you via e-mail, especially if the file extension is either unknown to you, or otherwise if it is sent to you in a compressed format, (Example Win-zip Files) and that you take extra care in protecting yourself as much as possible by minimizing any risk where possible. When I browse the Internet, I myself use and recommend Opera. Opera comes with an built in Adware Blocker, Malware Blocker, Cryptocurrency mining Protection and unrelated even its own battery saver allowing you to have an extra layer of protection and browse the Internet faster while being less likely to accidentally infect your PC or Laptop. This would limit any possibility of accidentally clicking on a rouge malicious link which could ultimately pose risk to your device by infecting your laptop or desktop with malware or even if you are unlucky ransomware instead. It furthermore protects your privacy further by also blocking all the trackers and thus is the Safer Choice for a Web Browser.
