The online retailers love this time of year. Everyone goes online and starts buying all their Christmas presents.
That's great, and it's a very convenient way for us, the consumers, to get our shopping done and avoid the crowds at the malls and everywhere else for that matter.
But, there is a but, you knew there would be didn't you. But, when shopping online, be careful, go to online retailers that you know or have used before or you know others that have used them.
The Spyware/Malware idiots are very busy making sure they inject bad links into shopping sites so you, the consumer, will click on the link and then BOOM you are hit with a storm of pop up ads, offers, warnings that your your computer is infected and you should CLICK HERE to download this great piece of software to clean your computer.
The fact is, it's already to late! You are already infected with tons of Spyware/Malware and at best you are going to be spending some of your valuable time cleaning the Spyware/Malware off your machine. At worst you are going to pay someone else to clean it or end up reloading the operating system to get it fixed.
Moral of the story, be careful, be vigilant, be informed and surf /shop carefully.
Remember: The same thing goes for ads in your e-mail.
