Threats to online security are becoming more and more sophisticated. McAfee is at the forefront of computer industry efforts to thwart and uncover such dangers. We believe an important part of your personal defence is knowledge – so we have created a database of information to tell you about the threats from Trojan horses, worms, zombie networks and much more. Although such things sound jokey, they pose real dangers to your information, your finances and even the personal safety of you and your family.
We tell you how these can affect you, and how to avoid and report them.
We give you the latest on maintaining good email hygiene and how to keep the kids safe when they’re on-line. We tell you about phishing and pharming, about worms and viruses, about the threats posed by ID theft, how organised crime is getting into instant messaging, and how to go about reporting internet crime.
