This recently updated presentation looks at how we can avoid falling victim to 'phishing scams', identity fraud, e-mail hoaxes and viruses and what simple steps we can take to protect ourselves, our staff and our business.

Since 2005 when we first presented 'IT Hoaxes' millions more Internet users are surfing the world wide web and despite the vast majority of users being particularly vigilant against viruses there are still hundreds of cases reported each week of different ways of attacking the computer system. From new ways of scamming people to downright fraud.

This presentation not only shows some of the many ways our security is compromised at an alarmingly high rate but what we can do to protect ourselves from such activity. Loads of useful advice including 6 key steps for secure surfing.
