Protect Your PC

by at 11:44 am.

There’s a lot of hype around this, but the threat is real. A virus has been propagating in order to do something - no one’s sure what - on April 1st. I keep my Windows machine pretty well patched and my virus software very updated, but the steps to ensuring you aren’t infected have to include more than that, so I’m running the suggested scan from McAfee. If you have trouble getting to the McAfee site John links to, that’s a sure sign you might be infected.

Also, be careful using Facebook and other application-running sites. Viruses are known to sometimes come through such sites.
