Internet Surfing

After a recent issue, in one of my home computers acquired a bug and after a day or two into the weekend, our internet was shut down by Time Warner cable. This bug was sending out a emails and spamming others, and Time Warner saw that one of our computers had the bug on it. By turning off our internet it stopped the spamming. This bug was in a email (which got deleted ), but the email was an DHL telling us that a package was sent to a wrong address, and wanted you to click on the attached file. And this was on the family computer and it was clicked on. But at least Time Warner knew about the situation and this bug was happening to others, they helped us out and it has been removed. Here's a link that has some helpful info about surfing the internet. The first part on the site, it something that could have helped someone make a better choice in not opening the email, but we all make mistakes. And at least I was able to save the computer before it did any major damage to the computer.
