Bananas.org - View Single Post - Norton Antivirus shuts off if not renewed

One way that a lot of people get their machine hijacked is from visiting a site that someone built that doesn't really know what that they are doing. Hackers search the internet for sites that they can get into easily and drop a little trojan in the site programing. My father in law used to get trojans all the time on his computer from the crappy hunting sites he always visits. He uses citrix to log into his work and the hacker ended up being able to access his companies network once he logged into it... was a big mess!

Phishing is a HUGE business for all kinds of purposes from just trying to find out what you do all day in your internet travels to getting all your banking info or trying to get you to go into business with some some official from Nigeria...

A good internet security suite will stop all this from happening!
