PC Protection

The rate of Malware infection around the globe is frightening and seems to show no sign of abating. Recent reports suggest that 97% of all emails are now SPAM

An interesting point on this map is that Ethiopia, Mongolia and Burma have virtually no Internet coverage so little malware detected, AND Japan is so savvy and up to date on its security, that it is virtually immune. 

The rest of us fall somewhere in between. So get your Windows Automatic Updates and Firewall set up, download Spybot and Adaware and make sure you have an antivirus package (free with Windows Security) working folks, cos its dangerous out there!

Post a Comment

All comments are welcomed, or even just thanks if you enjoyed the post. But please make any comment relevant to the post it appears under. Off topic comments will be blocked or removed.

Moderation is on for older posts to stop spamming and comments that are off topic or inappropriate from being posted .... comments are reviewed within 48 hours. I don't block normal comments that are on topic and not inappropriate. Vexatious comments that may cause upset to other commentators, or that are attempting to espouse a particular wider political view, are reviewed before acceptance. But a certain amount of debate around a post topic is accepted, as long as it remains generally on topic and is not an attempt to become sounding board for some other cause.

Final decision on all comments is held by the blog author and is final.

Comments are always monitored for bad or abusive language, and or illegal statements i.e. overtly racist or sexist content. Spam is not tolerated and is removed.

Commentaires ne sont surveillés que pour le mauvais ou abusif langue ou déclarations illégales ie contenu ouvertement raciste ou sexiste. Spam ne est pas toléré et est éliminé.
