Think Before You Click!

It all began so innocently (doesn't everything?), I was scanning a few e-mails before bedtime and ran across a shipping notice for a recently ordered purchase. The e-mail contained a tracking number and, rather than copying that number and going the the FedEx website for more information, I clicked on what I thought was an imbedded hyperlink to that same destination, located just beneath the e-mail. I was wrong; I actually clicked on an ad for some horrible, virus-laden site called package tracker or some such thing. That one click of the mouse erased my browser and populated my programs with a whole list of evil malware! It was a long weekend, my husband spent many frustrating hours cleaning up my computer; uninstalling and reinstalling needed programs. I am usually uber-cautious about computer navigating, but a single moment of inattention slipped me up big time! Be careful; learn from my mistake, think before you click!

Life is Good!

... again!...
