okay. I received this email in my bulk section. What do you think of this? Is this site/software legit? Should I download it?
Below is some of the email msg. Thanks!
There is a high possibility that your PC’s Firewall security settings
may become exploited by malicious websites without your knowledge. This
could easily lead to the following attacks on your PC’s hard drive:
- Unwanted Virus Downloads
- Uncontrollable Trojan horse attacks
- The running of unwanted script programs
- The installation of malicious spyware
If your PC is not protected correctly then these attacks could allow
hackers to track your movements across the Internet. It also means that
your information, ranging from passwords to credit card numbers, can be
stored by sites that you visit. A successful hacker could examine this
information and extract it, setting the stage for identity theft,
credit card fraud, or worse.
