Default Re: Poker Trojan??

OK, Here is the latest update.
According to the guy who found this trojan (Computer Security Expert) it is something that could have been stopped by any up to date Anti-Virus application and/or any firewall. The PC that this was on had neither of those.

Not having Anti-Virus protection, at the least, and/or a firewall in place is just crazy in my humble opinion. But then again I am a computer geek. I do this for a living and really understand this stuff. There are way too many people out there who have PCs and broadband access that is on 24/7 who have no idea what it means to keep their computer at least a little bit secure.

You can bet that if this was happening to one person it is happening to way many more. I am sure that whoever wrote this trojan and is using it is not going to be satisfied with only picking on this one person.

Moral of the story is, make sure you have your PC patched, have antivirus software running and up to date and make sure you have some kind of firewall in place as well.
