Parents be warned!!! If you have millions you could lose it all!!!!

Well if your kids or others use your computer in unsecured type computer use. The chances of id theft and other fraud goes up with the more risk you take and the less secure you are.

Ok take a computer with just Avg free anti virus on it,and nothing else
then take that same computer and run a P2P on it.
The risk factor is now at 90%+ . Now kids use IM (instant mesanger) passing files back and forth. We are now at 99% risk and then throw email atatchments Phishing into the mix.
I would put the odds of not getting burnt at zero!!!!!!

'SOCIAL SURFING' COULD LOSE PARENTS MILLIONS TO ID FRAUD
Survey says almost 50 per cent of computer users have been affected
by spyware.
