A word of warning…

If you moderate comments made on your blogs, beware of accepting comments from “strangers”, unless you have anti-malware software already installed. Fortunately I do, which prevented what looked like an innocent enough, although gushing commentary, on one of my few blogs. He/she/it provided unusually full detail – e-mail address, URL, and so on. Had I clicked on any of the links it would have introduced malware into my p.c.
MY anti-malware software recognized the URL address as potentially dangerous, and warned me, when I checked it out. I suppose “strangers” in this context mean non-definitelynotmyt gang members!

  1. Good morning, CWJ.

    Thanks for the warning. I haven’t received any such comments yet. The only problems I have experienced are from the profane and the hysterical from Elsewhere but their comments now go directly into Spam where they belong.
