You need to have a firewall and anti-virus protection for your email and for when you search websites and interact online. At the bare minimum, you may want these two solutions that are offered at no charge to home personal users (i.e. not for commercial use):

Take care of yourself, too, by choosing appropriate dating sites. Seek and choose a reputable online dating service. How? Start by asking around with friends, neighbors, co-workers and others you may know who have tried online dating, and see which places they advocate. In addition, search “on the web dating services” and keep a notebook of their URLs or website links, the fees, rules and regulations, complete contact information of each and any other useful information that spikes your interest. Then compare each place. Try only those places where you feel safe. Avoid the others.
