uBlock, again…
At a recent meeting I observed, a website was mistyped, which brought up a scam about the computer being infected (it wasn’t, it was fine). As typos are a thing, I’m sure this sort of thing happens all the time. So what do you do to prevent the scary scams? Continue reading uBlock, again…
