Protecting Computers and Laptops
Phishing
Phishing is typically an e-mail scam that can trick consumers into revealing personal information through fraudulent Web sites or in a reply e-mail. Typically the e-mails and Web sites use familiar logos and related graphics to betray consumers into thinking the sender or Web site owner is a company they know. A typical phishing scam works like this, you receive an e-mail supposedly from a company or financial institution you do business with. The e-mail describes a reason you must verify sensitive information and if you comply, the people hiding behind the seemingly legitimate Web site or e-mail can use the information to make unauthorized withdrawals and purchases from your accounts, or even sell your personal information.
Spyware
Spyware is a software program that gathers information about a computer user, and in most cases without the user’s knowledge and clearly their informed consent. Spyware applications are inadvertently installed when visiting certain Web sites or clicking bad hyperlinks.
