Katrina Security Alert

Sadly, some people aren't just slime, they're that stuff that builds up between slime and the dirt that slime lays on for protracted periods.

The BBC is reporting that several spam mailings have been found asking concerned readers to log onto Web sites to provide support for Katrina victims. Once you do, though, your PC is instantly infected with all kinds of malware trash.

So help--but be careful how you help. Stick to known donation links like the two I dropped down below in earlier posts. And if your SMB office users are equally concerned, you may want to pass this tidbit along.
