No. 10 - Dangerous Holiday Downloads![]() Anyone with a bit of holiday spirit can appreciate a downloadable dancing elf, Hanukkah jingle or Santa Claus screensaver. But what happens when we click on something more sinister in those spirited online offerings? For starters, we can infect our computers with a dangerous virus, worm or Trojan, which can wreak havoc on an operating system. What's worse, some holiday-themed downloads can leave you vulnerable to identity theft and fraudulent activity. Don't let that yuletide ring tone destroy your new year. Always be extremely careful about what you install or download from the Internet.
