Malware


Posted on July 5th, by Cathy Olsen in . No Comments

The term malware is short for malicious software.  It is software used or programmed by attackers with malicious attempts to disrupt computer operation, gather sensitive information, or gain access to private computer systems.

McAffee catalogs 100,000 new pieces of malware every day.  That is about 69 threats per minute!   Make sure you have an anti-virus solution in place on all devices (computer, laptop, mobile).
