Microsoft security patch
I was really upset when my pc got infected by Trojans and virus a few days ago. Though, the malware got wiped out by Spybot, I still erased the old partition and reinstalled my Operating System. I got paranoid. I noticed the abundance of virus in the Internet these days. Now, I am really meticulous in surfing the net and dropping some Entrecards off. I noticed a few sites contain some malware. I used McAfee before but it didn’t seem to work well. (Anyways, I got it for free from my Internet service provider.) Have you noticed it? So, I am using Avast now.
However, good news! Microsoft just issued a critical security warning or a security patch via its automatic update system to patch users computers. Microsoft people said,
“Users can potentially get infected two ways. One is to visit a malicious Web site that already has the malware installed on the site, or visit a legitimate site, in which the attacker has inserted the malicious script to run in the background, leaving visitors unaware their systems have been compromised.”
That’s why I am really meticulous in visiting sites. I know, we can’t really avoid virus. We just have to be careful. Oh boy, believe me! It is not easy to wipe out malware and reformat computer. It takes hours to do this.”
By the way, back to the critical security patch. This security patch is intended to stop attackers from downloading malware onto users’ computers if they visit a malicious Web site, or a legitimate Web site that has been infected. So, update your system now if you haven’t updated it yet.
