If they're fluent in English you might try pointing them at https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA16-091A Ransomware is often spread through phishing emails that contain malicious attachments or through drive-by downloading. Drive-by downloading occurs when a user unknowingly visits an infected website and then malware is downloaded and installed without the user’s knowledge. hopefully that'll get them to clean up their act. Or at least have good backups. > OTH, they give me really tasty Indian food for helping them. > I am not the least bit worried about my own computers. I am. Which is why I tend to disable "features" that I don't think I need or want .. like setting geo.enabled to false :) Regards, Lee _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
