  • Identity Theft Alert!! BEWARE of SpyAxe!!
    ID Theft

    There is a NASTY new brower hijack/virus, known as SpyAxe, which we have seen several incidents of recently. It takes over your homepage, and attempts to sell spyware removal tools via a pop-up.
    BEWARE: Spy Axe and Spy Trooper are part of an international credit card fraud and identity theft network.


    Norton Users at Risk... Please Read
    Caution

    Symantec's antivirus software contains a vulnerability that could be exploited by a malicious hacker to take control of a system, the company said late Tuesday.

    According to Symantec, the bug, which affects a range of the company's security products, is a "high" risk.

    No patch has been released yet, so use extra caution or install AVG Free Edition in the meantime.


    Radio and Television Features...
