Cloud backup good or bad idea?

https://blog.avast.com/2014/12/03/is-backing-up-your-data-the-same-as-exposing-it-in-this-case-yes/

I will never backup anything to the internet - I simply don't trust anyone with my data other than me. Anything that I put in the likes of dropbox, transitional, images, etc. etc. and certainly nothing confidential.

Postcard hoax still around!

Postcard hoax still around!

https://blog.avast.com/2014/12/30/worst-virus-ever-hoax/

What the blog doesn't say - don't send this email to all of your friends as it says - this is possibly the most harmful part of this hoax. Just imaging if you send t to say 30 people and they send it to 30 people. It doesn't take a maths genius to see that this will swamp email servers - not to mention you are likely to get some back from friends of friends in the same social circle.

NEVER ever forward, copy and email any unsolicited email that you receive.
