Cold or Virus?

Can a gif image contain a virus? 

Dangerous file types can be hidden in a gif file or video and be executed on your computer by automatically opening as a gif.

When the original link and code is hidden you will not know you are infecting all your friends computers tablets, laptops and phones when you share it.

Doing anything on the internet and not being smart about it is not being a good friend to anyone. 

A common tactic of malware writers is to disguise malicious files by hiding the file extension or adding spaces to the existing extension.

Solution: ALWAYS check the source link before sharing anything. If the link to the art doesn't go anyware and the art moves, get off that page or site immediately.

The malware can also be embeded in the advertising on the website page. 

If a Facebook, Google+, Twitter friend shares the "cute" gif or video post with hidden malware, they are hacked when the executable file downloads into their computer and webpage. When someone clicks on the art in an ad, the same result happens.

Warn them in a private message or phone call to remove the art immediately!

Any website can be designed look legit.

Basic check website advice:
Scroll to the bottom of the website you are checking the link on and check the security credentials and source.
Search for information on that site.

Be aware the internet has a dark side.

I live by the philosophy if you’re not willing to lose all the data on every PC on the network,
and have to invest $2,000 on average to have just one computer restored by security experts. PLUS, invest the 6 months to get your computer back in your office healthy with all it's memory...
don’t share malware.

What is Your Purpose?

Fall is Here!

This morning I was reading one of my favorite books, "The Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. The wisdom contained in this book is phenominal. I believe it is vital when the leaves change colors to review the year so far and make adjustments to prepare for a transition into the next.

I'm one of those people who finds a solution to any of life's challenges, take care of it, then move on to the next breakthrough and powerful plan that God has shared.

Diversity is the key to success and creativity fosters new ideas that change the world. Finding the "truth will set you free, but first it may make you miserable!" is true for most people looking to improve their lives. During your journey you may run into those that do not have your best interest at heart. What do you do when that happens? You make a change.

"It has never been easier in history to fulfill your commission to go to the whole world." - Rick Warren

My commission is to help you level the playing field by sharing that you have the right to protect yourself and your family, find the work that brings you joy and be worry free. Any problem from the trivial to the traumatic can knock you off balance. You can be blindsided by evil. Now you can find fairness and protect yourself with a solid rock of the law on your side. 

It would be an honor to help you when you feel you have been treated unfairly by bringing you access to legal advice on anything, yes anything that you need help with for a very low affordable fee. We are leveling the playing field with rock solid support that you probably have never experienced in the history of your family, business and career.

What are you allowing to stand in the way of your mission? 

Let's take care of it together.

Don't allow anyone to take advantage of your life, Jilly
