Hi Bill, Now that you can get my emails, here is one that I thought sounded like pretty good advice if yhou could do what he suggests.
Obviously one does not want to be compromised by hackers and viruses. So what do you think? Edward Thanks for this morning's assistance. -----Original Message----- From: manny [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 17, 2013 7:11 PM To: gwmicro list Subject: Headsup! I know of 4 computers hit by this rootkit! List of what to do to protect your computer! Aloha to all, This is a reminder to be very careful when clicking on OK when using your computer. You may be saying yes to a malicious software. In an email-- do not open a file ending with . exe! If the file ends with (dot blank) (. )-- Do not open it!!!! When on a website and you are told that you need to update your Adobi flash player do not click on the link given! Instead go directly to the Adobi website. Here is the link: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Another common method to infect you is to alert you that you need an update for the codex for watching a video on the web. Unless you are on a secure website, do not update the codex! Learn about rootkits here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootkit Learn more about Research System Progressive Protection malware from Microsoft here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?Name =System+Progressive+Protection This baby is resistant to almost all security systems, and once infected it disables your security. You won't be able to run most of your own software, and again, only you can stop the infection! by not clicking on the OK message! Bottom line, think before you click! And when in doubt-- Don't click! Be careful out there. The bad guys are out to get your computer! Manny checkout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75fbevlz10g http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rootkit I'll leave you with this last thought. If you think you can click on any OK message, because you have a good security system, well, dream on. -- Good luck, Manny checkout my stand-up comedy performance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75fbevlz10g computer specifications: Window Eyes 8 Dell xps420 with 8 gb memory c p u: Intel q6600 quad core dual boot between Windows 7 64-bit and windows 8 64 bit all software and drivers are up to date If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
