are many reports showing that a large percentage of the Computer Viruses

are built and set to gather personal data that will be used later on by organized crime

groups – yeh, people used to call it the “Mafia“.

My question to you is, how many times you think the Mafia takes Google each week?

Here are several tips to get you going on having better defense against the Mafia online:

1. Consider shopping in web sites you already know and have in your bookmarks.

2. Even if you use Google or other search engine to look for deals, write down the details of the deal

and then search those details in the specific site they belong to (eBay, Best Buy, whatever)

3. Use tools that I sent you in the past such as Mcaffee Site Advisor.

4. Do not ACT according to websites you visit accidentally if  they warn that your computer is in danger.

I do not know a legitimate site that would do that. If you have concerns about your Anti Virus,

try out a new one, by looking in Computing Magazines such as those I publish on the Blog here.

Here is a free Anti Virus that I like: Avira Anti Virus at: http://www.free-av.com/en/download/index.html

have to warnings later on…

So bottom line, it looks like you should tell your firewall to deny such trials to access your computer.

Another question is what should you do if this alert pops up a lot…

I’d say, you can tell your firewall to automatically deny access in such cases without asking for your

intervention.

You can lower down the amount of such cases by setting your router to deny any access into

your network unless you started the communication.

That’s it for now…do let me know if you had such issues as well and if this article helps you!

P.S. I started reading PC Magazine Digital edition…saves trees and costs less!

Please note that those days there are two massively used attacks that could hit you as well:

President Obama Malware:

The email offers news of Barack Obama‘s speech and a recording after he won the elections.

If you click on the link it will say you need to install the latest version of Adobe Flash player.

The link actually takes you to a malicious Web site.

Although the file there is called ‘adobe_flash.exe’, it contains a trojan program that will take control

of your PC.

Facebook Confirmation Malicious mail:

This attack could trick you into believing that the message is a Facebook friend-add confirmation.

The “From” address in the message is set so that it looks like it is from Facebook.

Once you click on the link it will start the infection process.

To defend your self of both those attacks, you can use the same tips I shared on my Video on protectingyour Pay Pal account here:

As said in past messages I am working on several projects online that will help you out, one of them

is a How-To video showing how to tune your Norton Security Suite to both protect you and

also eliminate the computer slowness they have if Norton is not properly set.

For Essential protection from viruses, hackers and privacy threats –

You can use Norton Internet Security 2009
