Hello everyone,
I don't know how this is happening but a fraude has been commited 3 times into my egold account despite all the security measures that I am taking (regular change of passphrase, up to date and active antivirus, anti-spyware and firewall. Plus I use my home PC alone. How can this be possible? I personnally wonder if it doesn't come from e-gold staff because I never got such problems with my UK bank accounts. Thanks for giving your advice.

Have you also taken advantage of e-gold's other security measures, like its ability to query even a change of browser or IP address? I've got both of these set, and although it's a pain to be sent a PIN-robot e-mail every time this happens, it seems to be keeping me out of trouble along with all the other precautions you mention.

No matter if you follow all the e-gold security recommendation's and follow it. It won't make a difference if your computer is already compromised. Just by surfing and emailing specially if you click phising email links you will loose all your money.

But i have a question? Is it true that if you are a mac user you don't have any of these problems.. Because alot of people have been saying that they don't get infected or is it they don't have viruses trojan's for mac?

TRUE OR FALSE

jambutty

It’s not a case of not having virus problems on the Mac. The Mac does have nasties but nowhere near as many as the Windows PC.

I don’t know what the exact figures are but for every 1,000 PC’s in use worldwide there is just 1 Mac. So the nasty writers target the PC as they have a better chance of fooling someone than on a Mac.

If the Mac were as popular as the Windows PC you can bet your sweet life the Mac would be targeted.
