🌟 Did you know? 🌟Some ads aren’t just annoying—they’re downright dangerous! Cyber attackers can sneak malicious code into ads on legit websites, a trick called malvertising. One click, and your computer could be swarming with malware, Trojans, and other nasty surprises. How it works: Imagine you’re chilling on your favorite site, and you see a bunch of ads. Most are harmless, but one is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. This sneaky ad scans your system for weak spots. If it finds one (and it often does), BAM! Your computer is infected. What to do?
  • 🚫 Block those ads with an adblocker.
  • 🛡️ Arm yourself with a reliable antivirus.
  • 🔒 Fortify your defenses with extra protection against sneaky attacks that antivirus might miss.
Stay safe and surf smart! 🌐💻
