There is an email circulating that could fool you into clicking on the Zip File I wanted everyone to be VERY aware of!
It comes with the subject line "Worm Alert!"… and says:
Are you like I was… too many passwords for too many things, and seemingly no way to possibly remember them all?
About 6 months ago, while attending a seminar, someone turned me on to a great way to not only remember every single password I had… but also, an even better way to take my passwords with me everywhere I go and not store them on ANY computer. Not my own… not any I use someplace else. And all I have to remember now is ONE password.
Since completing my recent whirl-wind conference schedule, I have been battling a severe throat infection that just won't go away. I could count on one hand the number of times I've been actually SICK in the past ten years, but this has been one of them! Started today on a more potent antibiotic… so hopefully this will be short-lived now.
Dealing with Digital Disease
A virus is a program that replicates itself. It cannot exist on its own so it attaches to another program, usually an executable one. A worm is like a virus—it also replicates itself. However, it can stand on its own and does not need another program to run. It usually infects your computer’s networking features, which includes its internet connection.
