ASSUME AND YOU MAKE AN ......
You remember the old saying assume and you make
an ... of you and me. You have to remember that
many people today are not as computer literate as they think they are. Phishing attacks are
changing are changing in nature every day. But people assume everything is safe and trustworthy. Trust nothing from unknown people, never assume, keep your antivirus and adware protection current, trust your computer to protect itself by its protective software, and if you get a warning on the screen to go to a site or download some protective software from some site; then you should get off that site and open internet options. Delete your files, cookies, and history right then. Then activate your protective software and reboot. This is what I do. But people are human and humans make mistakes. And last but not least people are either in a hurry or assume the above in this article.
