McAfee to the rescue: start fighting cybercrime from your desktop
McAfee to the rescue: start fighting cybercrime from your desktop
When your house has been broken into, there is proof that a physical crime has taken place.
When you are a victim of cybercrime, the signs are not as obvious.
McAfee hopes to end the victimization with the creation of their “Cybercrime Response Unit,” which will allow users to install fraud alerts if they choose to do so, and how to move forward if they have been attacked.
Since so many internet users constantly get hit with worms or other malware on a regular basis, a site that attempts to provide useful information and scanning programs to run on your computer seems long overdue.
Elinor Mills from CNET discusses how the McAfee Cybercrime Response Unit “provides the electronic equivalent of hand holding for consumers as they try to figure out whether they have been victimized and what to do if they have been.”
After all, everyone needs a little TLC from time to time, right?
