Drive-by downloads are very common and very harmful to your personal computer. Most of the time the download shows very few signs of having occurred so you have to know what to look for. If at anytime your homepage changes without your permission or your computer has bookmarks you didn't save, be concerned! The drive-by not only downloads malicious information but sends your computer into a spiral of downloading more malware applications. So how do you protect against this? Download and update your anitvirus and antispyware. Watch for unusual apps and downloads to your computer. Always be aware.
This blew my mind! I had heard of this on a very minor scale, but there is nothing minor to this! No wonder so many people are becoming the victim of such a crime. You always hear of the problems with social media having access to so much information, but even without social media, this can be a means of identity theft which can alter a person's life! I am very thankful for being made to be aware of this and I hope that everyone will take the opportunity to watch the video and learn how to be cautious yourself. You can never be too careful. Start now!!!
