Your Computer at the Beauty Spa, Nail Salon, Barber Shop, or Pet Grooming Shop Can be Infected by the Swine Flu!


Most professional salons, shops, and spas now have atleast one computer. The Swine Flu can leave your computer coughing, sputtering and yes, even lead to computer death!

Personally have received e-mails in my inbox regarding the Swine Flu Outbreak. Many are from sites I have signed up for like Web MD or About.com. Some however, are not. Do not click on links within e-mails from a source you do not know and be sure to warn every all user on your network or you could end up purchasing a new computer; all thanks to the Swine Flu.

Website names related to the words swine flu or common searches like "swine flu updates", even the medication, used to shorten the life of the flu, Tamiflu, are being purchased at alarming rates. These sites may be used to host malware, like trojan computer viruses, or for spam campaigns or phishing attacks that can fill your inbox with unwanted spam.

We are all concerned about the swine flu and unfortunantly bad people know this. Do not fall for coming phishing attempts that say things like "The Swine Flu is Now in Your City". The best source for information is the CDC's website or your local news sources.


  • Do not fall prey to clicking on links within e-mails


  • Do not open mail from unknown sources


  • Do not give money to anyone that promises you Tamiflu or any other Flu stopping meds


  • Only go to trusted sites for updates like www.CDC.gov

As Stylist, Barbers, Nail Technicians we come into close personal contact with others, so we have enough to worry about. Don't let your computer become another thing of concern. A computer death is dismal for your bottom line.
