Pedophiles can exploit virus-infected PCs to remotely store and view their stash without fear they’ll get caught. Pranksters or someone trying to frame you can tap viruses to make it appear that you surf illegal Web sites.

Hmmm. I think I’ll run a couple dozen virus scans now….

  1. Ubuntu + Firefox + NoScript + Adblock Plus + Flashblock = a much safer browsing experience.

    If nothing else, get IE8, I have it on educated authority that it is the best browser M$ has for Windows.

  2. Jim? Are you serious about IE8? I have been ignoring the update prompt for quite awhile, me hating change and whatnot!

  3. Oh, and just had to take my laptop to Da Geek, Tuesday morning a nasty locked everything up. He put Avira AntiVir on in place of AFG and added ComboFix. Guess we will see how it goes.

  4. IE8 if you’re obliged to use a Microsoft browser, otherwise Firefox or Opera.

    Just please not IE6 or IE7. Many people use it, so it is the obvious target for authors of malware.
