Serious security breach found in Internet Explorer

2010-01-22T11:44:00.000-08:00

Dear clients and friends,

This is a short note to let you know that China found a way to hack into Google's huge network and steal quite a bit of proprietary information.

Unfortunately someone has now posted this method on the Internet.

As a result, Microsoft has posted an emergency update.

I STRONGLY urge you to apply this update as soon as you can because this security hole can allow hackers to enter your networks and steal any and all information that they want.

There is a different update for each type of operating system - so please select carefully.

If you need any help in this matter please let me know and we can schedule someone to assist you either remotely or on site.

But in any case do it very soon !

Feel free to forward this email to anyone who needs to know.

Regards,

George Baldonado

We at Oasis Technology would like to wish you the best that 2010 has to offer.

We all know that the economic situation has had a long and lingering negative effect on everyone -- hopefully the worst of times are now behind us.

On a short note, we want to provide you with one important tip with regard to computer VIRUSES.

BEWARE -- several bad viruses are spreading rapidly.

Be aware that the people who write viruses have found another way to get around anti-virus software. What they do is pop-up an official looking screen when you chance upon an infected website.

The screen says something like ''ALERT!!!! -- A VIRUS HAS BEEN FOUND ON YOUR COMPUTER !!!!!!! -- DO YOU WANT TO CLEAN IT?''

Of course, people usually panic and press ''YES'' – which is the WRONG thing to do. This action loads fifty or a even hundred viruses onto your computer, making your computer unusable.

If you do see this screen, just CLOSE THE INTERNET and don't click on any buttons! If you can, immediately reboot your computer! Also inform all those in your company as well as your IT support staff.

But….IF YOU GET THIS VIRUS AND YOU ARE STUCK, GIVE US A CALL! We can help!

Keep us in mind for your IT needs. We are the BEST – but NOT the most expensive. We’ve been in business since 1979 -- visit our page at www.oasistechnology.com and see for yourself.
