Security tips for the holiday season


Well, it’s now November and time to start thinking about buying presents for the holiday season. In the last few years, one of the most popular choices for presents has been one of the many different MP3 players on the market. Two incidents occurred in October that may make you think twice before connecting that new player to your computer. Reports surfaced that a small number of Apple’s Video iPods were infected with the Rajump virus. The virus was traced back to a Windows-based computer that was used to test the devices during the manufacturing process. Additionally, some of the MP3 players given away as part of a promotion by McDonald’s in Japan were infected with a virus. Any new device that you connect to your computer should always be scanned with an up-to-date antivirus product before you allow it to synchronize any files.
