There is court case where a vice principal accused a student of drug use at home. The parents asked for evidence and he responded that he had pictures from the kids' webcam (that is built-in to the school issued laptop!) Seriously... http://www.comp-u-sult.com/weblog/archives/20100223-big-brother.html David Charron - dave.weblog@comp-u-sult.com Tue, 23 Feb 2010 16:15 EST You download a "free" screensaver or a background picture or funny little things to make your cursor a fairy or a racecar... Nothing is free - the bad guys can and will infect your computer. http://www.comp-u-sult.com/weblog/archives/20100208-backup.html David Charron - dave.weblog@comp-u-sult.com Fri, 19 Feb 2010 16:15 EST Your data is extremely important. How painful will it be if/when your drive crashes? Backing up your data to The Cloud is a fantastic, easy and inexpensive solution. You download a program, configure which files and folders to backup and it does it. That's it. http://www.comp-u-sult.com/weblog/archives/20100208-backup.html David Charron - dave.weblog@comp-u-sult.com Fri, 08 Feb 2010 22:45 EST This threat is an email that looks real, may even be real, but you get infected. Today a customer went to her online email and opened one from Barnes and Noble. After that, she could not get on the internet (everything else seemed OK). So at lunch, she went to a co-workers PC and checked her email - again she opened the Barnes and Noble and now that computer could not get on the internet, could not access their in house network and suddenly had rogue antispyware informing of all these infections (this version actually looked like it was Windows informing you of the infection and asking if you wanted to scan). http://www.comp-u-sult.com/weblog/archives/20100201-fake-email.html David Charron - dave.weblog@comp-u-sult.com Fri, 05 Feb 2010 20:00 EST
