We get a lot of calls from people who’s email, Facebook, Linked In and other accounts get hacked. They mention their friends get spammed by messages from them that they didn’t send, and have to apologize for the inconvenience. Avoid costly virus removal or worse things happening to you.
This can be avoided quite simply, by just following some common sense guidelines. This post is more of a re-post, in that I’ve already posted articles on this subject. I provide the links to these previous posts below.

Great service! Very nice guys fixed my computer very fast. Prices were fair...
I better not waste time and learn these tips. Thanks for sharing these. Hackers are also like animals. They don’t think about their victims welfare. And even worse, they continuously evolve as technology evolves. They are using resources that we never knew could be used. It is a daunting task. But through simple steps you can properly protect yourself from these fiends.
With all the free anti virus software out there it amazes me how many people still don’t use any anti virus. Don’t go asking for trouble!
