If you receive an email from a trusted friend with "I'm Free at Last!" as the title, I would strongly advise against clicking on the embedded URL to try and find out why he/she is now free. The link will lead you to a website that features Dr. OZ talking about the virtues of green coffee beans as a weight loss supplement; however, good old Avast 8 detected malware and blocked the attempted malicious download threat and I aborted the connection without issue. Now, I'm usually careful about things like that but this one fooled me completely because it appeared to come from one of my best friends. He obviously contracted an infection that accesses his contact email list and then sends out a broadcast email to everyone on it. So, I called him immediately and woke him out of a deep sleep and he said "What?... Huh?... He did mumble that he leaves his computer on 24x7 so I told him to shut it off and call me when he wakes up. FYI.
