XP scam

Hi everyone
As some of you know, I have been expecting a new granddaughter---well, she was born on Sunday 8/10/08, Audrey Dianne. She was 7 lb 2 oz and 19 3/4 inches. A little tuff of reddish hair and she is adorable. Doesn't like to sleep without being held, but I am sure that is just a temporary thing.


ALERT!! There is a scam out there called XP Antivirus 2008. Don't buy it. It takes alot of your memory and then gives false reports. If you did download it go to http://www.windowsvistaplace.com/xp-antivirus-2008-removal-instructions-xp-antivirus-2008/spyware-removal to remove it. Do not fall for this one because it has XP on it. It looks real.

There is also a virus that is hitting Facebook for those of you who use it. It is done by what is called 'social engineering' and there is not much that can be done by it. Here's what happens: a hacker either creates a Facebook account or somehow steals someone else's account. They then post messages on a very popular part of Facebook, called "the wall." The message looks like it's from a friend and it has a link to a funny video. If you click on the link, you're taken to a malicious Web site that infects your computer. Remember to watch out for links to videos. Those can be the most vicious of all.

Until next time...

Hugs
