What is “Malware” & How to Stop it


Malware
The term “Malware” is an amalgamation of ‘Malicious’ and ‘Software’. It usually refers to software that infects your computer similarly to a virus, but often disguises itself as seemingly innocent add-ons like browser toolbars, fake antivirus programs that demand money, and other unpleasant interruptions.

What’s the point of malware?

The people who make malware do it for many reasons, but the most common ones are to collect your personal data or direct you to websites they own to make money through advertising.

What are the symptoms of a computer with malware?

  • Advertisement pop-ups
  • Requests / demands for money

Malware
Too many search bars
What can you do?

First, Make sure you have a good anti-malware software, they can prevent most of the basic malware. Next, install a malware detection and removal tool and use it to scan and clean your computer.
Top free anti-malware tools:

Malware
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 2.0 – Considered to be the BEST anti-malware tool available today. It was invented by a young man who hated how complicated older tools were, so he created his own and it has since become the easiest, most used and most effective tool on the market, providing 99.9% malware protection.


Malware

– Bitdefender’s free antivirus comes in a close second after Malwarebyte’s tool, but while it offers 98.9% protection, it also serves as an antivirus software. Install it on a computer without a preinstalled antivirus software and enjoy its dual protection.

Malware
Microsoft Security Essentials – Microsoft offers this malware and virus protection for free, and it has a good reputation as a tool that will remove most malware from your computer. If you’re using Windows 8 (or higher), you don’t need to download it as it’s already pre-installed on your computer.

Slideshare to market you!


Most social agents are focused on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn. But Slideshare? A great social platform, SlideShare is overlooked and underutilized.



Tell your communities story!



#1 Design presentation to Impress




Since few marketers consistently upload content to SlideShare, there’s much less competition than on the other social channels. SlideShare  can generate some nice content exposure from the beginning.



Use SlideShare to get your content in front of more people.







Create niche specific / local market content & design an appealing (and resourceful) presentation to upload to SlideShare, you’re very likely to see a few hundred views immediately,with little promoting.


#2: Rank Higher With Keywords and Phrases


  Also include your keyword or phrase in the title and description of your presentation, as well as the tagsMake your keyword the first tag for the presentation, and then choose closely related tags to follow.






If you don’t already know how to do keyword research, the video above can help you get started

#3: Use How-To Guides to capture readers



Visual content is hot and it’s not going away. SlideShare is an obvious fit for visual content.

The presentation below is an example of how CAR uses an info-graphic to explain the Real Estate market.


Info-graphics make it easier for others to understand what you are presenting / sharing.


#4: Grab Attention With List Titles


Create a top 10 Restaurant for your market
Top 10 Homes for Sale this week in "City"
Top 10 Golf Course's 
Top Local Attractions in "City" 


With just one list presentation, you can lure readers in and get on the radar of the people who you want in your target market. If you’re lucky, they’ll share the presentation with their followers. "Potential online referrals"

#5: Get Featured on the SlideShare Homepage






Editors tend to pick new presentations to feature on the homepage. With this in mind, make sure you post new content early in the day so it has a full day to be seen by viewers and SlideShare’s editors.
