A new malware threat with no clicking necessary
Hackers
have devised a way to exploit the out-of-date pieces of software that
operate in the background as we browse the web, such as Java, Quicktime
and Flash. Make sure you have the tools to fend off this new threat and
the newest versions of the software packages to protect your Windows
computers.
Browse more safely with the NoScript add-on for Firefox
The NoScript add-on for Firefox blocks
Javascript, Flash, Quicktime, and other scripts that run in the
background as we browse, which prevents malware from being
automatically loaded onto your Windows computer. CFANS OIT recommends
using this tool with the Firefox browser to protect your Windows
computer.
