Phishing/Antivirus Software.

Covered Phishing and it's hazards today and I have encountered it with one of my accounts. I have a bit of knowledge where this is concerned (not much) and I know first hand what it can do. It is worthwhile checking up on any type of suspicious emails before following their suggestions. We carried out a mock test on Internet safety and again it was quite interesting. It tested us on Viruses and spyware, also on copyright and various other things. we also did a comparison on a couple of Antivirus Software's that are available to download. We looked at AVG which is available at WWW.Grisoft.com and also looked at Avast which is available for download at WWW.Avast.com. It is quite hard to do a comparison of this type due to the fact that we cannot see it actually work without it coming into contact with a virus. The only way we can check them out is to see what others think about them and to look for feedback from different users. This has been a more interesting week and I think there is still more to come. See you next week (if you are there).
