1. Spam – how have you been affected by it?
I generally don’t open spam and so I usually don’t get infected or fall for phishers.

2. What could you do to prevent spam?
I have spam blocking and redirection in all of my email accounts. I also keep an anti-virus program and a firewall going.

3. Has your PC been infected by a Virus/Worm/Trojan?
Yes, once. no matter how hard you try you can still get infected.

4. If so, how did your PC became infected?
I was downloading a file from a trusted source that unknowingly had a virus. The virus was a simple one that had not been detected in the wild that only changed the home address in Internet Explorer. It seemed that I wasn’t the only one to be infected that way with that file.

5. Do you have a virus protection? If so, how often is this updated?
Yes, I check for updates daily.

1. The FIFA World Cup is running – nice thing or doesn’t meet your interests?
I’m interested, but with the U.S. not doing so well I don’t know for whom to root.

2. Are you one of the happy people who can see a match in a stadium?
No, I have to stay and work in the U.S. I can only catch it on TV and the news.

3. If yes – how did you get the tickets?
NA.

4. Work as usual or watching every game?
I pretty much am going along as normal.

5. Who is going to be the champion?
England or Scotland. Okay, I can always hope.
