Dangers of Clicking on Web Sites Posted in Forums
http://www.livevideo.com/video/Polic...-dangers-.aspx

I have never had a problem with using web sites posted on this site, but I sure have on some others. After seeing this I will go to the source instead of clicking where the poster posted one.

Teck Support Guy I trust and hope no hackers get in here.

Hi, Have you seen McAfee's Site Advisor? A lot of us use it and it's a great help deciding if you want to go near a site....and what the reasons you would or not are.... Site Advisor:

There is a plugin for Mozilla Firefox browser as well

Read about it here, http://www.worldstart.com/tips/tips.php/2429


there is a download link but it is hard to spot, so here is one I prefer to give:

http://www.download.com/McAfee-SiteA...-10508464.html

The one for Firefox is here: http://www.download.com/McAfee-SiteA...-10493671.html

You might also try this out> not a program, nothing to download, this tool inspects your installed software and operating system, and gives you reports on software that has patches that you lack for security

It's great and here it is: Secunia Software Inspector http://secunia.com/

At that site, over on your left, under Software Inspectors choose Scan Online to generate the report....takes just a minute or so, and is welll worth checking out your computers with!
