‘Global Net-Warning’ that is the best synopsis of what is happening with our inboxes, which are often overloaded each day with a list of scams, but this is nothing compared to the fight with fake anti-viruses programs.

 

Hackers are now tricking us with false warnings, stating that your computer is infected with a Trojan, a type of threat that often appears to perform a desirable function but in fact performs undisclosed malicious functions that allow unauthorized access to the host machine.

 

What is worse, users sometimes receive a ghosted or under-layered link to an e-card pretending to relate to a legitimate company like friendgreetings.com or Hallmark. Users who then unwittingly follow this link find themselves landed on a site that inundates their browser with popup windows stating ‘ Virus found on your computer- download latest version to fight with it’.

 

So many people blindly believe everything entering their inboxes and all that pops up in their browser window are genuine, when simple safe computing procedures can reduce the risk of spreading a whole range of Internet issues.

 

How much more are we prepare to take? Who can we actually trust? One thing is sure, ‘ The fight between the bad guys making fake ani-viruses or spam and the good guys trying to warn the public is becoming more difficult. So don’t wait for tomorrow to protect your business, do it today!
