Take this survey and you might win a new VIRUS.

Over the past few weeks a number of people have stopped me in the halls expressing concern about their home computers acting strangely.  What can you do to prevent viruses, etc. from infecting your computer?  Do not click on any file attached to an email from someone that you don't know.  Never take a survey that promises you the possibility of winning a new something...the only thing that you might win is something that you don't want.  Be careful about trying something for free or $0.99 for the first month, especially if you need to give the site your credit card number.  These sites are notorious for placing monthly charges on your credit card that you might not notice unless you examine you credit card statement, line by line.
