Now that the holiday shopping season is upon us, we’ll all be bombarded with email spam containg all kinds of deals and offers. \u00a0The question is, which are legitimate and which can compromise our computer system? \u00a0Sometimes it’s hard to tell.<\/p>\n

Google has a helpful little video on how to protct your computer from Malware. \u00a0It gives a clear explanation on how a system can be compromised with malware. \u00a0And it contains\u00a0common\u00a0sense tips on how to avoid malware. \u00a0 We all tend to overlook the common sense stuff, so it’s a good idea to take a moment and give it a look.<\/p>\n

This video is pretty much directed at Windows users. \u00a0And Google should know. \u00a0Last year, they banned the use of Windows on\u00a0company\u00a0systems.<\/a><\/p>\n

So, if you REALLY want to avoid having your system infected, ask Santa to drop off an early Christmas gift. \u00a0Linux<\/a>. \u00a0Linux<\/a> is immune from Windows viruses, malware, and trojans. \u00a0Plus it’s free.<\/p>\n

Simply download Linux<\/a> and install to your current Windows system. \u00a0You can wipe Windows completely or, install as a dual boot.<\/p>\n

Or you can order a Linux system from linpc.us<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Have a safe web- surfing holiday season. \u00a0Get Linux<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
