    It has been identified that cybercriminals are continuing to target major news stories and global events such as the recent release of Windows 7

    Thousands of Windows 7 builds downloaded on Torrent and P2P sharing sites contain a malicious Trojan designed to target your personal information and has the potential to cause system failure and result in identity theft or financial loss for the end user.

    What you should do to help protect yourself:

    ● Only purchase/download products from trusted sources.

    ● If you’ve downloaded Windows 7 from a torrent site, you should use your security software to run a comprehensive scan of your computer to check for Trojans and other threats.

    ● Avoid clicking on links sent to you via emails and instant messages even if they appear to be sent from a known or reputable source.

    There’s no such thing as a free lunch so remember …. if it looks too good to be true – it probably is !!!
