Watch out for those E-cards that are going to be going around today. It is Valentines day, and attached to some of these e cards are viruses called the “Storm Virus”. It allows your computer to work for computer hackers. Hackers will be able to control your machine, doing things including: Spam, Identity Theft, denial of service attacks and a lot more.
My policy is that I will not open any E-cards, no matter what the sender or subject line says. If you do not have any virus protection, now is the time to install and scan for viruses and Trojans. But you don't have to pay for good protection. Grisoft AVG offers a great virus scanner. I use it every day, it does a great job at detecting and dealing with viruses. And best of all, it's free! You can get it here.
Look toward the middle of the page, where it gives a list of products. Click the download button under the word that says “Free”.
