Drive By Download Attacks On Your Computer
Drive by downloads are one of the latest threats on the Internet. Here is how it works: you are going from web age to web page and suddenly, your computer is infected with malicious software downloads such as viruses and other malware programs that will download more infected garbage. These malware downloads occurred without your permission and in most cases, with out you knowing about them either. This danger is one that everyone should be aware of.
The people at WatchGuard Technologies Inc have given me permission to add their Drive By Download video to this web site. Please take a look at the video and see how easily your computer can be infected. I will review their information for you and what you can do to stay safe below the video. Click on the arrow play button below in the picture below to watch the video. (It's a twelve minute video, please be patient while it loads.)
