It’s that time of year again. Ahhhh…Valentine’s Day. The time of love, happy feelings, happy thoughts and of course….e-mail viruses. Yes, Yahoo! News is reporting that once again, hackers have been planning on preying on the heartstrings of the unassuming and lonely hearts out there. Here’s the story.
As a general rule, never open e-mail that looks suspicious or from a sender that you don’t recognize. Or a subject that seems a little too off. What happens when you open the e-mail is it unlocks the virus that’s in it, and basically gives your permission to the computer to download the virus or program contained in it. If you’re not familiar with the term malware, get familiar with it. Malware can be bad news for your computer. Take it from one who knows.
Bottom line, when you open up your email program and get a weird looking email from a Debbie at Dallas.com and you don’t know a Debbie from Dallas.com, DON’T OPEN IT. Simply delete and go about your business. It will cost you less in the long run.
Until next time.
