Koh Jun Sheng 4A3

One of my friends had encountered a click-jacking virus before & I managed to help my friend fix it by following the steps in the following website http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/firefox-stop-clickjacking-attack.html . I’ll explain what I understand about it. A Click jacking virus, or click jack attack, is an attacker to collect an infected user’s clicks use vulnerability. The attacker can force the user to do all sort of things from adjusting the user's computer settings to unwittingly sending the user to websites that might have malicious code. Also, by taking advantage of Adobe Flash or JavaScript, an attacker could even place a button under or over a legitimate button, making it difficult for users to detect. A virus scanner might be useful. I personally advice you guys to get the best virus protector which is Bitdefender and I am using it myself too. It is rated as one of the top virus scanner. It slows down your computer at times as it is updating and occurs especially during start up. Just have a scan once a month and it will help a little.
