SPAM Blocker Tip of the Month – Do Not Confirm if Not Signed

image-SPAM-Blocker-LaptopThis month’s SPAM Blocker Tip is:  Do not confirm if not signed

Do not confirm or trust applets, plug-ins or ActiveX components that are not signed or are signed with invalid certificates.  You will typically see this in your web browser when you visit a website that uses ActiveX or other plug-ins.  If it’s a reputable website and you receive a prompt to accept an ActiveX component, take a moment to confirm that the references in the prompt are consistent with the website you are on.

Still not sure, feel free to give us a call and ask.  Give IT Radix a call.  We’re happy to help!
