It always makes me cringe when someone in my live chat room boasts that they are smart enough to not need any protection software on their computer. I shudder when they claim they couldn’t possibly get infected because they watch what they download. Seriously, folks… in this day and age, do you honestly think that’s all there is to it? Have you not listened to anything we’ve been trying to tell you?!
Okay, so there’s a bit more magic to it, but… it’s really quite simple.

So I was told that while in Honolulu, I had to eat a traditional “Local Breakfast” at the McDonald’s. Ok, so let’s do this. I can handle it, right? It won’t kill me, right?
The unfortunate deaths of a number of celebrities recently has generated an increase in spam. Add political scandals to the news, and the junk mail really spikes upward. There has been (and will continue to be) a significantly higher volume of this junk email directed at your inbox. Not only is this spam a waste of your time, it can be dangerous. A current article illustrates that spam is a means of delivering malware.
Some people who spend many hours online fighting malware requested that this top-rated firewall be brought back, as an offer for our readers. It was formerly known as the Kerio Personal Firewall. Now, it is called the Sunbelt Personal Firewall.
Over eight million people can’t be wrong! That number represents the growing number of people who use MailWasher to handle the spam problem. One of our security reviewers has used this product for almost a decade, so the recommendation for MailWasher Pro comes from years of experience with this legendary program.
One of the best posts on Lockergnome today dealt with the news that one of the major Spam outfits has finally been taken down. For those of you who are heavily involved in Malware removal like Kat is, this is very good news, indeed. Why not take a look around at what else has been happening in our neck of the woods today?
I bet on a good day, I receive well over a hundred emails. Heck, some days there are more. I happen to know people who get far more than that. Many of you out there indicate that you get anywhere from ten to over a hundred emails daily.

I received the following email the other day from Doug:
I’m still surprised at times when I get an e-mail forwarded to me that claims something is true without anyone having checked the validity of the contents. I recently got an e-mail regarding a Dr Dobson petition, and there were almost 3000 names on it already when it came to me. To me it should be common practice to people to do a quick & simple internet search to find out more information before blindly forwarding stuff to everyone on your contacts list. Even if the e-mail already has a link attempting to validate the information, I’m going to want more than one source reporting the same thing. One person forwarding an e-mail with 0-1 sources does not validate the contents.

I’ve used my chris@pirillo.com email for many years now. The reason I share that address so openly is that I’m just not afraid of it. Some of you are quite afraid of sharing your email address, with good reason. You never know where that address will end up, or what mailing lists it could get sold to.
