Broswers are used for many reasons. Criminals have created malware specifically designed to target most browsers.

Learning Points

• Remember, if it's looks too good to be true, it probably is.
• Keep your browser up to date.
• Be careful when installing add-ons, plugins or toolbars.
• Login as a limited account user, not administrator.
• Look for https in the address and ensure you can see the padlock icon.
• If in doubt, call the ISS Service Desk for further help.
