Seasonal Virus Activity

We are noticing a marked increase in the amount of virus infections that are being brought into our computer repairs facility in Perth.

This is probably a result of folk spending more time on their laptops as the nights start to draw in, however we have also noted increasing sophistication in  Phishing attempts that are being sent via email and social media.

Examples from just this morning:

New email spam variant as folks thinks about Oct hols KLM SALES & SERVICE CENTER

 Yet another Facebook email spam "Your friend wants to share photos and updates with you

"Vodafone Europe: Your Account Balance" from Vodafone Europe (account@online.vodafone.com) contained a virus or a suspicious attachment

So be on your guard and if in ANY doubt, delete it!!

If your computer is running slow or you think you might have an infection,, check out our Best Value Computer Health Check which also includes 12 months Bullguard Internet Security
