Data Doctors Radio Program
Stop sending e-mail attachments!
Files attached to e-mail messages have long been an effective method of infecting millions of computers by tricking folks into opening attachments with clever social engineering tactics.
But what if everyone stopped sending anything legitimate via e-mail? Wouldn't that allow us all to universally ignore any file attached to an e-mail?
Listen in as the Data Doctors give you lots of alternatives to sending legit files via e-mail so your recipient won't ever have to try to figure out if the attachment is safe or a ticking time bomb!
Join us every Weekend as we discuss your computer questions. It's the Tech Show for Non-Tech People! You can post questions on
