More than 6 million LinkedIn passwords stolen
You might be hearing this in the news yesterday or today, or you might be seeing posts on Facebook or Google+ about LinkedIn having passwords stolen.
Before reading anymore, PLEASE, change your password at LinkedIn.(www.linkedin.com) I'll explain, but only after you change it. [Though my link is safe, it's always best, security-wise, to type the address yourself.]

 Don't be fooled by the recent wave of LinkedIn emails saying you have been deactivated (or anything else). This week I am seeing a lot of fake emails saying they are from LinkedIn, but they are just phishing for your login info.
I know many who have created a LinkedIn account, but then never use it. So, they can easily believe a message that says something about their activity.

I recently received an email from my "Mail Administrator" asking for my login info. Now, sometimes I do email myself notes as reminders or tasks. But I don't know why I would ask for my own login info. :)
Besides, Server or Mail Admin would never ask for login information. A real administrator can simply reset the password if they wanted (they can't view the password). We see notices like "We will never ask for your login info via email" and "Do not share your login info with anyone", but how many simply ignore that like it's one of those popup windows to just click OK to?

It happens. The war against Virus's, viruses, virii, is endless and ever changing. Sometimes, even with multiple virus scanners, a new virus can slip through. Yes, even on super-geek's computer. Anyone who thinks they are smart enough to catch every possible attack is just an uninformed fool.
There are so many paths of attack, especially on Windows. (you ARE patching, aren't you?). Mac and Linux users might be safer (not 100% though), but let's be real... percentage wise, these users a minority.
 So, what does a geek do when infected, or suspects an infection? Well, besides the standard virus scanning, there is a powerful program that can really scrape the crap off your computer. MalwareBytes.org. I know, it actually sounds like one of those fake anti-spyware programs that pop up a virus warning so you install their software which is actually spyware. Oh... but it's not. Spyware actually looks for this software to try to disable it, because they know they can't hide from MalwareBytes.

Resident Shield and/or Web Shield is not active
 It seems a recent update for either Vista or AVG altered something with AVG being recognized by Windows Security Center. There is a mention of it on AVG website: http://www.avg.com/faq.num-1642#faq_1642
For those too lazy to follow the link for the FAQ, here is a copy of the info:
