Do you know what SpyRid is?
DESCRIPTION
SpyRid is a fake anti-spyware program designed to mask as a legitimate spyware removal tool. SpyRid has its own website with poor attempts to get users to download and purchase the SpyRid program. Once SpyRid is installed it may display exaggerated scan results of spyware parasites. If a user wants to remove the parasites that SpyRid supposedly found they must pay up. The payment system that SpyRid redirects users too is a scam also. The redirected payment site is bogus also and may be a way for hackers to steal your personal information.

Don’t get caught standing in the line of Pharming Drive-Bys.
A year or so ago the big news about your home router is that a hacker could use a default password to gain access to your network. This is happening again only this time the attackers do not need your password to gain access through a newly uncovered flaw in certain routers.
What does all this mean and how can you protect yourself?
