Unless you've been living a very sheltered life, you probably know that there are a lot of threats out there that can cause you big problems on your computer. And these problems often are not just limited to the computer, but can affect other areas of your life as well.
Long gone are the days when viruses, worms and other "malware" were designed by intelligent teenagers with too much time on their hands.
These days the people who make these dangerous programs are often bankrolled by criminal organizations who want to use your computer to steal from you or your friends and family, to join thousands of other infected computers to launch a "botnet" attack on a webite, or for various other reasons.
The bottom line is there are criminals who want to take advantage of vulnerabilities in your computer, or gaps in your own knowledge, to commit crimes.
The last thing those people want is knowledgeable and empowered computer users, but too bad for them!
I'm going to share with you today another one of my easy video computer lessons (which could easily save you from the embarrassment and dangers of having your computer infected or worse) by arming you with valuable knowledge.
The lesson will safely show you video of a real and dangerous website I ended up on one day which tried to infect my computer.
Fortunately, I recognized immediately what was going on, and I practice safe browsing habits, so I escaped unharmed.
I hate websites like that and the people behind them, so to spite them and to help protect you, I recorded this video lesson.
When you watch it, you will:
- learn how to recognize common tactics used on those dangerous websites
- What you should do if you run into one
- What you must NEVER do if you are ever on one of those sites, or risk BIG problems (and the sites are all designed to trick you into doing this very thing)
And if you have friends or family who have computers, think of them and share this email with them so they can protect themselves too (it'll also protect you, too, since if their computer doesn't get infected, it's less likely to try to get yours!).
Until next time, take care, and be safe!
