Web sites that really could steal your banking information

11/14/2017

Here is  a new virus that is spreading through the web.  This is something that installs a virus on your computer that watches what you do and waits to steal banking information.

How it works.  1) You go to a bad website by either typing a wrong address or clicking on a search result that has been temporarily put up.  2) The site convinces you to download a Word Document.  3) This document claims it needs to update in order to be seen.

Do not choose the enable editing!  This is what infects your computer.  You won't even know you are affected.  From this point forward you will have a spy transmitting information when you log onto sites.

If you think you have done something like this contact me immediately so we can get your computer cleaned up.

To avoid this kind of thing, NEVER download anything from the internet unless you are certain of the source.  If you did see this image, but didn't chose the "enable editing or "enable content" you are still safe.
