There have been so many new rules and regulations affecting the practice of medicine that it is hard to keep up on how they affect the day to day practice of caring for patients. One of the most important are the new HIPAA privacy and security rules related to protected health information (PHI) and the required public notifications and announcements which must be issues in the event of a breach of this privacy.

So I woke up on Christmas Eve to find my notebook infected by a new virus.  My AVG Anti-Virus said that my qtime.exe was infected and failed to quarantine it, that’s I realized that this was not going to be a quick fix.  AVG was unable to remove the virus.

This time of year many of us spend a lot of time on the internet for work, play and shopping. Even though I have written several articles about the “FAKE AV” Virus every week I hear about another customer who has gotten the virus.

Here are my top ten tips to avoid viruses and malware.

Do not be fooled by the seemingly legitimate looking ThinkPoint scam. This rogue antispyware application will not benefit your PC at all, but instead work against you to trick you out of your money. ThinkPoint comes bundled with the well known and much hated Microsoft Security Essentials Alert scam.

Beware: a massive email campaign is underway to trick users into opening an HTML file attachment that redirects users to a hacked website containing links that further lure victims into launching a fake antivirus software package. According to security firm Sophos, the email messages are designed to trick people into paying to remove threats from their computer that may not really exist.
