Two phone calls lead to a new blog idea

In the past couple of days I have had two phone calls from people saying, “HELP, my computer is infected with hundreds of trojans and viruses.” Both, of course, were fake sites posing as an antivirus telling people to download their software to fix the problem. Both people clicked the button to remove (which is also the download button), and became suspicious. Then they both called me. The fix, simply close the window and everything is back to normal.

These fake AntiViruses are popping up all over the Internet these days and are fooling many. This leads me to my new blog idea. The average person has no idea (or very little) how to be secure on the Internet. My new blog will be for these people. Each week I plan on writing a new article addressing one security problem on the Internet and what to do about it. I would also like to answer any questions that people have about Internet Security, so if you have any send them my way.
