Why do you click on the link in the first place?
Some browsers like Google Chrome when I put the mouse beside the link, I see the extension below[small block], where I can review whether it is a real link or not.
Also, some extension like MetaMask will benefit you a lot.

Using such code leads to deceiving many

What i do most is number 3, i always think before i click any link, then after that i delete the message immediately and blocked the sender. Thats what i do not be a victim of phishing.

ANTIVIRUS sees only the detected viruses and suspicious files.
But a user can get an undetected virus.

Thank you author, that shared. Advise what antivirus program you are using on their own? 

Thank you for sharing it's a great help on how to pretect our funds from those hackers.

You can also look into anti-phishing software through companies like ESET or a service like mimecast--these are merely tools and shouldn't be the end all be all, however. Truly the best method of protection is by practicing one's due diligence through preventative measures like the one's you have posted.

Yeah as what the name itself, it is for antivirus, it would be much better if it has anti phishing and anti hacker features.

Anti-virus software has almost no effect on hackers and fraudulent tricks through aridrop or email. Therefore, it is best to check before participating in a certain program.

Prevention is better than cure, here are some tips on how to avoid phishing sites:

1.VERIFY SITE'S SECURITY - One of the best ways to avoid phishing site is to verify the site's security, you make sure that the site URL begins with "https" and a closed lock icon near the address bar, when you are using chrome it will be highlighted with a color green and a word "Secure" will be displayed.

2.KEEP YOUR BROWSER UPDATED - Browser's security will also be updated if you update the browser, technically speaking it will modulate the phishers and hackers to break into your account if you update the browser from time to time.

3.THINK BEFORE YOU CLICK - This rule is a general rule, just same as "Think before you speak" the only difference is that if you said it you cannot edit or delete what you said but in clicking to post something you can edit or delete it. This rule also applies to cyberbullying, but in this situation, you must have the initiative to think before you click, do not click on random emails and messages, some of the phishing emails always start with "Dear customer", to be sure you must go directly to the source rather than clicking phishing emails.

4.USE ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE - Antivirus software scans every file which comes through the Internet to your computer. It helps to prevent damage to your system. For me, the majority of online users use antivirus software. If you have no antivirus software then you should install you won't regret it.

Keep these things in mind, Hope it helps!
