opportunistic infection

The front page of our local paper's business section today was a warning about a new Trojan Horse that is currently been circulation with the subject line containing words to the effect that, "Obama has decided not to go through with today's inauguration".

The site then takes you to a very professional but bogus version of the Obama campaign Web site. A single click on any link on the bogus site will open a door for a worm computer scientists have labeled W32.Waledac, which can then harvest all manner of sensitive information from your computer.

Experts are predicting the site could cause problems for a PC that doesn't have up-to-date security patches which is why it is critical that users at least try this Free antivirus removal.

Every day is a new day for the scammers and it only takes one day to slip up and let them through your defenses. Be sure to always stay vigilant and keep your data and your PC safe. I have had my credit card numbers stolen and have worked with people who have had their entire identity stolen. In this day and age can you be sure you won't be next?
