Typical - just typical. It's 7 am GMT and I was about to get the free upgrade to Win10 on my laptop. I'd done quite a fair bit of searching for advice before proceeding - for obvious reasons - and one article I came across via Google was in globaltechadvice.com. The site is untested by Norton and so has the grey icon - but that's not necessarily a bad thing is it?
The bit that grabbed my attention was this: (it's rather long - sorry)
"I stumbled across an article about a group of certified Microsoft and Mac developers that had teamed together and produced a piece of software that allows you to secure your important files and documents, instantly. The software automatically backs up the files on your computer and stores them in the cloud . . . . . . ." "The guys that built the security software have made it clear they want to help as many people as possible and will be giving away copies until November 8th, 2015 you can grab your free copy by clicking here" [a link that I've removed].
So I clicked on the link and got this:
Neither Bing nor Google search rated globaltechadvice.com as questionable nor rated the link as dangerous so how many users will have read the article, clicked on the link above and got in trouble? It's disgusting. Rant over.
Well done Norton!
