MySpace & Facebook Virus Attack
Two of the biggest social media sites, MySpace and Facebook, have recently faced a worm which has offered people a video but underhandedly inserts a Trojan into their vulnerable systems.
Google and Yahoo aim to increase online security
Two of the Internet industry’s giants are engaging in online security. Google and Yahoo are creating new malware products for both businesses and consumers.
Google Web Security for Enterprise is a malware protection and URL filtering product with policy enforcement and reporting. Google offers additional features that extend to protecting users that works remotely on laptops on guest networks.
Matthew Connor said” Protecting employees from Internet threats is tough enough when they’re at work, much less when they’re on the road.”
Yahoo, on the other hand has joined forces with McAfee Inc. to have a more secure web search. The new SearchScan feature by Yahoo Search alerts users to sites with security concerns that could damage a user’s PC.
With all this protection going on, Internet experience could be a much safer place for business and consumer alike.
Until next time
