Microsoft has patched a major Internet Explorer browser security flaw. The security update was issued for all Windows devices running IE 6 to IE 11.

Dealing with the first CryptoLocker attack right now. All Word, Excel and PDF documents are ruined. Luckily, the pictures, Publisher, and Access files are still good.

This attack came via an email that looked like a resume sent from a LinkedIn account, but, of course, it wasn't. It was the malware.

Luckily for this customer, I have a daily cloud-based backup established for them and am in the midst of restoring their files now.

I cannot figure out how FedEx works. I shipped a computer to Morton, PA (Delaware County). I just checked the tracking and saw it left NE Philly and then went to Lewisbury, PA (near York, PA). Then it left there to come back to the FedEx facility at the Philly International. Now it's out for delivery from there. The package had to go over 200 miles just to go around 25 miles down I95. ???

Beware of the Crypto Lock attack. Make sure you always have backups of all of your documents, pictures, etc. This backup drive should NOT stay connected to your computer. Cloud based backups are the best. Once you're infected, your computer files are gone, permanently encrypted and unable to open.

This malware is often spread by plausible and carefully-crafted email messages. They may be sent to company email addresses, and might purport to be customer-support-related issues, perhaps from a courier such as Fedex, UPS, or DHS, with a .ZIP archive file attached containing CryptoLocker disguised as a .PDF file (a viewable and harmless document, rather than the executable program it really is), displaying a PDF icon and named something like FORM_101513.pdf.exe. The attachment when opened runs CryptoLocker.

Microsoft Windows as installed by default does not display filename extensions (the part of a file name after the last dot) with the rest of the name; unless a user has changed the setting to always display file extensions, the disguised executable is listed as FORM_101513.pdf, apparently no more than a viewable form.

You've been warned. I will not be able to fix your files once they are infected.

If you have Verizon FIOS right now, or anticipate getting it in the future, don't buy into the misleading Comcast/Xfinity commercial touting the "Fastest WIFI" in home. That is only referring to the N Router they want to rent you for an additional cost. It will only give you faster computer to computer networking if your computers have N wireless cards. Has NOTHING to do with Internet speeds. That's still slow as dirt. FIOS gives you a router for free and you do not need a modem with FIOS either (which Comcast/Xfinity) rents to you for an additional costs, too, or you have to buy on your own.

If you have FIOS now, you may be able to get a free update to your router to gain N wireless speeds.

If you are one of the unlucky ones with Comcast/Xfinity, do yourself a favor and buy your own N wireless router at NewEgg.com or on eBay. Then you'll have that same inside the home internal network speed that they want to charge you for. You can even buy your own modem the same way and save that monthly fee, too.

Comcast should really be charged with deceptive advertising. Most people will think they're going to get faster than FIOS Internet speed, when in reality, they never will.
