I’d like to know about your main goal in using the internet.
Or the biggest stumbling block that prevents you from accomplishing something you want to do.
This will help me fine tune the results from the survey, and produce blog posts that are interesting for you.

MALWARE.
Has any one else been targeted by this particular pest since before Christmas.
It started for me with a strange email from an unknown source, wishing me a happy Christmas, about a fortnight before Christmas. When i opened the email there was a link inside it.
I was lucky enough not to hit the link as i did not like the heading. So i Googled it instead.
Which is where I found the term MALWARE.
Nasty little bugs which can infect your perfect (?) computer.
I have had up to 7 of these emails in a day. Never less than 2 and they keep coming every day.
I have not been able to find a way to stop them and I am concerned I might open one of these surprise pacages by mistake one day.
Any advice from anyone, or has anyone else had this experience yet, ?

These things have been around for years, in various forms.
SPAM filters catch most of them, but some will always get through.
Here’s three rules that will help you avoid most problems:
1. Don’t open unexpected email attachments - even if they’re from your mum.
2. Ignore messages that want you to provide any kind of account login details
3. Don’t click links in unexpected messages - especially if they make you curious, outraged, or disgusted.
Cheers,
