Would you like to protect your Windows, Macintosh, Linux or handheld computer from known “phishing” web sites? Would you like your computer to correct typo errors when you enter web addresses? Would you like your computer to run faster when surfing the web? One service can do all that. Best of all, it is available free of charge.
NOTE: Phishing is the act of tricking someone into providing confidential information or tricking someone into doing something that he or she normally wouldn’t do or shouldn’t do such as sending an e-mail to a user falsely claiming to be a bank or PayPal or other legitimate enterprise in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft.
Did you ever receive an e-mail claiming to be from PayPal or a bank or eBay or some other site, claiming that you had to re-enter your personal data? That e-mail did not come from the address claimed. Instead, the address is forged, and clicking on the link in the e-mail takes you to a cleverly disguised web site in China or Kazakhstan or some other place that collects your personal information. The “phishermen” who created the bogus web site then use your personal information to steal money from your bank account.
New phishing sites appear daily, and “phishermen” are becoming more clever at disguising the true nature of their “business.” This new service can protect you.
Further information about “phishing” can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing.
Would you also like to have your computer automatically correct your typo errors when you enter web addresses (URLs)? For instance, if you enter "www.eogn.cm," wouldn't be nice if your computer “knew” that you wanted to end the address in “com” and automatically took you to www.eogn.com instead?
Would you like your computer to surf the web faster than ever before?
Best of all, would you like to do make these improvements to your computer in a minute or two at no charge?
