Link Of The Week

Hardly a week goes by that we don't get an email from our IT department at work telling us about some new virus that is making the rounds.  Our anti-virus software will flash a window on the screen as it gets updates, informing us about some new worm or trojan virus, and will go into specifics on what the file that contains the virus is named.  Last week, our alert had to do with a virus that was in an email that allegedly contained a list of passwords to use in online porn sites.  A lot of computer users are very trusting and will still download anything sent from someone that they know, not knowing that the email could have been sent as a result of a worm or trojan virus.  If you don't have any anti-virus software loaded on your computer, please finish reading this post and and go to http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5 and download the free AVG anti-virus software.  In my opinion, it's the best anti-virus software out there.  I would use it even if I had to pay for it; it's that good.  Our company uses the paid version of it, but I've been running the free version here on my pc at home and it's caught alot of viruses that were sent to me in emails.  Once you download it, run a thorough check on your computer.  After that, a window will pop up when log on to your computer, telling you that new viruses have been discovered and that you need to go and download updates.  It's that simple.  The first thing I did when I got my new laptop this week was go and download AVG.  I urge you to do the same.  Be safe.  Practice safe computing.
