Sanity Check Number Thirteen:
Do you auto-update the anti-virus software
installed on ALL of your devices?
Malware is malicious software that can do
more than just steal data – it can harm
your system or turn your machine into part
of a ‘Botnet’:
•
Botnets are networks of infected devices
•
they are controlled remotely by a hacker
•
the largest known contains 12 million PCs
•
25%
of all PCs may be infected
Malware can be accidentally
downloaded by following links to infected
sites.
Other examples of Malware are Viruses,
Trojans and Worms. Any of these can
wreak havoc on your PC, laptop, mobile
smart phone or tablet.
