Web Crimes are Skyrocketing


This is an interesting article on how Web based crimes have dramatically increased recently.


Don't forget, the key to staying safe and protected are:

1. Make sure you have current Antivirus protection, and it is updating and scanning your computer on a regular basis.

2. Never, NEVER click on a link from email. If you get an email from your bank (or so it looks like your bank) DO NOT click on the link, go to your browser, and type in http://www.usbank.com/ or whatever the address is. Clicking on a link is dangerous

3. Always make sure the website address shows a letter "s" in the http portion of the address. That shows you have a secure connection. Also make sure there is a yellow or gold LOCK on your browser, usually on the bottom right. Both will help you make sure you are on a secure website.


4. Do not download or click on anything that says it is going to make your computer faster, better or that you have viruses and it will help you. These are all scams. Know what Antivirus Software you have on your computer and if you get a notice that TREND MICRO is saying to do something, and that is your anti-virus program, make sure you pay attention to those messages.

5. Always allow Microsoft Windows to do updates on your computer to make sure you get the latest security updates.
