Don't fall victim to malware

Scammers often use scenarios of pretending to be an old friend or someone you know to send malicious software—malware—to unsuspecting recipients. With one innocent click, you could be a victim. Malware can leave you vulnerable to data loss, damaged devices, or even identity theft. "Malware Protection Strategies" teaches you how to protect yourself and your personal data.
