Click it: Remember to check computer for malware
Internet Woes
A customer holds Webroot's SecureAnywhere Complete 2012 software for computer security at Best Buy in Mountain View, Calif., Friday, July 6, 2012. Despite repeated alerts, tens of thousands of Americans may lose their Internet service Monday unless they do a quick check of their computers for malware that could have taken over their machines more than a year ago. The warnings about the Internet problem have been splashed across Facebook and Google. Internet service providers have sent notices, and the FBI set up a special website. (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma)

Big companies like Facebook, are working with the law enforcement to trace the criminals. On the other hand, FBI recommends not to open attachments or following links received from strangers or even friends to reduce the risk associated with data theft through infected computers. Keeping anti-malware up to date is very important as well. Moreover, disconnecting the personal computer from the Internet when not in use can also help.
