Threats on the Internet

The stories at the links below are just two examples of the dozens of articles I get every month.

The second article is particularly troublesome for small business and home computer users. Few reset the DSL or cable modems default administrative password, something that everyone should check.

The Internet is a dangerous place. Be sure you and your company are protected.

If you don't know for sure, contact a computer professional and ask for help.
