Hi malware fighters,

Recently a whole lot of new dangers appeared on the Internet.
Just a couple of examples:
- DNS-leaks
- false certicates
- phishing mails looking better than non-phishingmails. (some oofficial mails were even more absurd than the real phishing mails could ever be)
- professional looking roque antivirus and fake spyware-tools (useless at best, but often maliscious of nature).
- ID-theft

How can you feel secure on the Internet as a normal user?
Some people are just discovering to look at the difference between the http or https protocols,
