Re: Obama wants YOU to help stop cyber attacks said by FBGuy:what % of the american population actually understands how to keep computer security software up to date? and an even better question, what % of the american population with computers actually knows if they have security software on their computer? People do have antivirus software.  |

| I met someone who did as well. Explaining to her that she now needed to inform her credit card company about it, and also needed to make sure that he information wasn't used for anything malicious before the company could update it was an interesting experience. |

the most interesting thing that I found out about the whole "antivirus 2009" software fiasco was that it was a ploy by the russian mafiaa to extort money from idiots |

| It involves a little more than that since they use stolen credit card information to purchase new domain names and then use these to sucker in more people. All of this is beyond just stealing your credit card information so this can be sold or used for other miscellaneous purchases. All in all, it's an impressive scam. |
