Firefox V.3 Combats Malicious Sites

According to Dallas Computer Repair, Firefox V.3, due out toward the end of the year, will combat malicious sites that attempt to download malware, usually trojans, onto unsuspecting users computers. Sophos reported that 5,000 new malicious sites were created in April but by June the number of new sites jumped to 30,000.

Dallas computer repair has seen an increase in the number of computers coming into the shop for virus removal. One problem is that users are letting their anti-virus expire and after infection are having difficulty removing the malware even with newly installed and updated anti-virus scanners.

Solution: do not go to suspect sites via emails, keep anti-virus definition database updated, do not open emails whose sender is unknown.
