Keeping RATS Off Your PC
So, how do you keep these horrifying menaces off your machine? First is to always have safe online communication. Only share your primary e-mail address with people you know. Don’t list your e-mail in large directories online or other frequently traveled web sites. If you join an online user group be careful about who you give your personal info to. Don’t just open attachments from anyone. Make sure you know what they are and who sent them. Also make sure your anti-virus scans and neutralizes all incoming mail that is infected. Only use software you get from trusted and reputable companies. The net is jammed pack with software programs that are free or cost little to nothing. That is the gimmick used to get you to download them. The real prize is in the malicious software you are loading at the same time. Check anything very carefully before you put it on your computer, especially if it is coming from a not so trusted site.
