Story: Vista vulnerable to malware from 2004
Vista and Security
I visited a site from a google search for a location in Philippines and viewed some of the images thereon, nothing else. I was immediately bombarded with spam directed to the email addresses in use only on my Vista computer and which spam was clearly linked to this site. I was also, so I thought, fully protected by a third party security suite.
In consequence of this, these email addresses are now compromised, being now spammed every day.
Needless to say, I'm choked off by this. Particularly since one of the addresses is personalised.
