WSL's Online Safety Page-- It Pays To Know What You Are Up Against.

   I checked my system for security problems the other day and fixed them up. The web is dangerous and there are new ways every day for someone to tamper with your computer. To see if you are a target for hackers, check out http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/default.asp?productid=symhome&langid=ie&venid=sym for a free service to check your system.
   Did you know that some of the stuff about virus warnings are mostly hoaxes? For a long list check out: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html. I was amazed at how many of these I have been warned about and then learnt from here that they were untrue.
   Never open attachments from people you don't know and always keep your anti-virus system up to date. To download a free anti-virus program, check out Anti-Virus-Guard (AVG) ~WSL.
