No increase in spam/malicious emails since starting to sign in last couple of months.

Get/got very few, BUT I have strong defences.

ie:

Google Chromebook PC(cloudbased, cant run malicious code,cums with integral antivirus)

Chrome OS operating system

Google GMail

**Banking/critical stuff done on separate computer.**

Don't use real name in email address.

While I don't seem to be getting any problems,

there IS a small risk.
