Listers,
I recently got a message from Xfinity (my internet provider) that
there may be a BOT on one or more of my computers.....
IMMEDIATE ATTENTION REQUIRED
Dear XFINITY Customer, Constant Guard from XFINITY identified that
one or more of your computers may be infected with a bot. A bot is a
malicious form of software that is used to send spam, host a phishing
site, or steal your identity by monitoring your keystrokes without
your knowledge. It may be possible you are unaware that your computer
is infected with a bot. We strongly recommend you visit
<http://www.xfinity.com/botassistance/?CMP=EMC-Email2&utm_source=Notification&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=Email2>XFINITY.com/BotAssistance
for important information on how to remove malicious software from
your computer(s). We appreciate your prompt attention to this
important security notice. Sincerely, Constant Guard from XFINITY
This is a service-related email. Comcast will occasionally send you
service-related emails to inform you of service upgrades or new
benefits to your Comcast High-Speed Internet service.
Macs don't get infected easily, so I am not sure if I need to take
action or not.
Xfinity is offering Norton Security Suite to Mac using customers for
free. Is there any harm in installing this software? I have been
avoiding Norton products since I left OS 9 because I have heard that
they don't play nicely with OSX.
Please advise.
Larry
