> For years, research institutions have noted a steady increase in number of malicious programs that are being used to exploit the vulnerabilities of our computers.  A vast percentage of all e-mail is spam, which tries to lure us into downloading software, visiting an infected website or social networking account, or even making a phone call in order to get us to reveal information useful for identity theft or to steal money.  Many of these malicious actors are now sending out fake emails from the Internal Revenue Service.
