It amazes me that despite all the warnings and all the attendant publicity the most popular passwords are 123456, password, 12345678 and qwerty!! And relatively few users combine small and lower case letters with numbers. Incredible! I am not suggesting that is the case here but password security is crucial in the fight against the hackers. Using multiple passwords and changing passwords can also help.

I agree Chas, however, if one is on many different sites, ie, Ebay, have an Amazon account etc, one HAS to have a little “Black book” and write them down for future reference. My friend had purchased a brand new Laptop, and had, supposidly had everything from his old hard drive transferred to the new laptop. by PC World, Kaspersky was also installed, but somehow they slipped through the net upon the first start up.
