With the web taking over the world for most everyone you may sometimes wonder if a site is actually safe to surf. This is not an unfounded concern as viruses, trojans, worms, keyloggers, etc. can be put on your computer from an unsafe site. How can you know if you are safe or not? Each…
I get emails from readers occasionally that cause chills to run up and down my spine. Well not really but they do ask about doing very dangerous things online. So this week we are going to take a look at the Double Click "Do Not" list from questions I have answered. Do not purchase items…
