Hey Folk's, Just wanted to put this out there Based on some of the things I have been reading and researching I expect that we will see an explosion of Malware descend on the general internet coming up soon. So........Please back up your important data and then disconnect your back up device and make sure your internet protection is up to date. Oh Yeah... next major update to Win10 will be here likely in the coming months, and should be a fairly small one with no issues for most computers

Interesting, I’ve gotten some weird texts and emails this past week, with goofy attachments to what appear to be videos. I got one on my work computer from a customer I haven’t talked to in 15 years, obviously his email address book was phished

No sir, this is like in addition to the Outlook issue, what I expect to see happen will be geared more toward's the consumer side of computing

Thanks for the heads-up. I keep hearing the news about a Mickysoft vulnerability but they don't get specific.

Thanks for the heads-up. I keep hearing the news about a Mickysoft vulnerability but they don't get specific. Here is what I *think* is the case with the Microsoft deal. If anyone knows this to be incorrect, PLEASE let me know. Anyway, I think the Microsoft deal attacked people that use the Outlook online version, but where you actually access it from a local application on your machine, instead of going online to access the Outlook box. I believe that if you are accessing the Outlook interface entirely via some URL, then you should have missed this particular threat. I'm not some super computer guy, though, so I might be totally misunderstanding the whole situation.
