KNOW THE WARNING SIGNS
Recognize the Early Indicators of Unauthorized Access
No one will call you and tell you your computer is infected or that there’s something wrong. Not Verizon, not Comcast, not Microsoft or Apple. None of them will call you.
But maybe you never received a call, but landed on a poison website instead. The website says your computer is infected and gives you a number to call. Sometimes it speaks to you through the computer. You might even hear a siren that just won’t stop. When this happens, just press the power button for 10 seconds until the computer turns off. Wait 10 more seconds, then turn it back on. Chances are the bad website is gone and you can carry on. If it doesn’t, you better have us take a look.
