Interneters Beware of Malware
MSNBC- yes people , the ever popular NBC tv company is also on the internet and it is a major threat to your computer. Hotmail sells your email address and also sells anything suspicious you send them. Do you ever look at your Junk Box and mark certain messages to send to MSN to investigate? That's right folks , MSN sells these to the person who sent you that message. Also , have you ever noticed some messages do not have your email address on them BUTT you still get them anyway? Yes people , Hotmail is on their side.
In the past I have always enjoyed looking at other folks Blogs BUTT now I can't even do that anymore. Take for instance , "patrified.blogspot.com". This blog puts something into your registry and takes down your puter.
I don't know what it is about AOL , but everytime I go there , my puter gets all kinds of infections while using Internet Explorer.
Just because you use Mozilla does not make you any more safer to surf.
Now a days , people are switching to Safari and guess what? The Malware is starting to pop up there as well.
There are several sites that offer picture service and they attach Trojans and Key loggers onto them and of course those pictures are shared around the world and this stuff gets spread along with them.
Of course , the one thing to look out for is being redirected away from the site you thought you were going to. Someone has made a mirror site for Ebay and so far , nothing has been done to correct it.
