Zombie Computers



A 'Zombie' is a program that has been uploaded onto your PC through a virus (e.g Trojan, worm etc) & is used to infect other computers. It works in the same sense as the mythical 'Zombies' from movies etc in basically doing things the owner of the PC is unaware of e.g sending spam mail etc.

Phishing e-mails

The biggest clue that e-mails (from banks) are fake is if you don't have an account with them!!

If you do ahve an account with that bank I would advise it's a Phishing e-mail as there are a few factors that prove this, these being -

The address in the URL bar should be HTTPS to prove it's a secure site,
There should be a padlock in the bottom bar to also prove it's a secure site,
The Engllish translation of the whole e-mail is very poor & an organisation of that size would know how to write their e-mails properly
It's a very informal letter if you are a customer
The bank would already know all your details including your username etc
If you were to cut & paste the URL or even hover over it, you would realise it would come up saying a different thing.

My time at college ;-)

My time at college so far has been pretty good. I always thought that I wouldnt fit in but I now know that I was wrong!! I've made lots of friends already!!!!
I've learnt alot so far & hopefully will learn even more in the coming months.
I'm not too sure what type of job I would like to go for as yet but I do know that I would like to go onto university!

Disney princess




Welcome to my world!!!!!

Hiya, welcome to the world of Kelly!!

I'm 27 yrs old & a single parent of a 5 yr old daughter, who is my world. I try to live life to the full (as the saying goes you only live once!!)

I enjoy meeting people & having a good laugh (especially if drink is involved lol) other than that I'm a pretty family orientated kind of gal.
