INTRODUCTION OF SPEAKER: Jim Laber has lived in Stow since age 8, has a family here with three girls age 13, 17, and 18. He has a passion for race car driving so after a few weddings, he might become a roadie. He (and the speaker today) owns AtnetPlus, a computer company here in Stow- keeping you connected, secure and working.
SPEAKER; Jay Mellon has been partnered with Jim Laber for 15 years. Talking about security and viruses, and malware. He started out talking about the definitions of malware, virus, worms, trojan horses, spyware, adware, rootkit... then he scared us with the information about how spyware works. These hackers can actually activate your camera on your laptop and the microphone and be able to watch you and hear you. Lots of information is threatened if any of these items are unknowingly on your machine. He then talked to us about cookies. A file that is stored on your computer to help you use that site frequently with more ease. He shared with us that there are ways that they can use cookies to track our activity. He also warned us about the phone calls about cleaning up your computer, they are completely bogus. He showed us many examples of phishing through emails, etc. Very good information, now Im scared just to start the computer! These 2 gentlemen are very smart and we appreciate them keeping us safe.
If you need help call 1-866-500-7652 or email Support@AtNetPlus.com.
Be safe, stay warm and have a great week!
