Pump_and_dump.mp3

Experts are warning that there is a new brand of spam on the market and this one comes in a tin marked 'MP3'.

Spammers are now attaching mp3 files to their emails, containing a 30 second pump and dump type message. They're banking on the fact that antivirus scanners don't actually check the content of the file. Sneaky.

Well it sounds like you do most of your work on desktops which is fine but I spend most of my time on the move and work hard to keep my laptop free of trash. I don’t see to many applications or alternative options for Laptop Security. You make a good case for the new Antivirus Software you’ve started using but as part of the mobile crowd, how about laptops?

I keep 99% of my financial records on my laptop and I’d like to try a new Identity Theft Software, http://www.eeye.com/html/products/blink/index.html application. The one I use now is ok but I’ve been reading reports that say many a laptop running the program I currently use have fallen prey to data file theft, so I think it’s safe to say it’s time to move on! Any suggestions on rock-hard Windows Protection?
