Virus Protection
There are many virus protection programs that delete these harmful viruses at the start but the most important virus protection you can use is common sense. Be AWARE!
Tips: Paypal seems to have alot of spoofs (spoofs=fake emails) that have the same setup of email as there emails do, and also a replica website in many cases identical to paypals. For paypal, make sure the email at the top reads "Dear YOUR NAME HERE' and not "Dear Paypal User" Paypal will always use your full name. Also always open up a seperate window to go to sites such as these or ebay, instaed of clicking a link in an email.
Many fake sites when you go to them can download automatically if not protected worms. Which will record keyboard strokes, and then when you connect send the information secretly to the hacker.
It may look like this to them for example:
C:\Progam Files\explorer\internetexplorer.exe BEGIN--\\ www.paypal.com:Load [url=http://www.paypal.com:atternmakerilikepizza;Load]http://www.paypal.com:atternmakerilikepizza;Load[/url] http://www.paypal.com/%hgryf645734userid:153472382:;Load http://www.paypal.com/%jdhjdhsejd56478393476accountinformation"
For example in this when the worm sends out the keystrokes they would see that they went to paypal.com and put inthere usernam as patternmaker and there password as ilikepizza. They could go there and access there account as well as there bank information or funds that are in there paypal account. This canbe done with anything the user may go to. Credit card bills you pay online and etc.
BE AWARE. Don't open email from people you don't know. Don't download nothing from an email unless you know the user and what they are sending. They may be passing on a seeminlgy harmless joke but it's actually a virus along with it that puts ads on your pc or whatever.
1. Delete all emails from people you don't know
2. Don't download nothing from an email from unknown users
3. Virus scan all downloads before opening, this will save you alot
4. Don't clink links in emails unless you know it is real
5. Use Common sense
