be careful out there

[ceagle]

*mmmmph*
I just went online to do a periodic check of the Filtered Spam, and there was the largest collection of viruses I've EVER seen... DOZENS of them... ;P
I looked at one and it seemed to be the SoberWorm one... if this is an outbreak right now, be extra careful...
A couple friends have experienced some problems this week... I have to wonder if that's what they caught... :/

Remember the Big Six of Safety in Windows:

1. antivirus
2. antispyware
3. firewall(s)
4. backup(s)
5. restore points
6. disable inline layout display in Outlook

best of wishes... and winghugs where applicable.

Actually, I think #6 should be... don't use outlook.

Seriously. Don't.

There are LOTS of alternative email clients out there, that aren't as full of back doors and security holes as Outlook.

And #7 - update. Install those patches and security updates!
