Question from Larry Lu: Donna, what can you tell me about something called a RAT or a Trojan Horse?
Answer: Larry, Here you go. A perfect article for you to read. So many people are not familiar with the RAT or Trojan Horse's ability to cause a lot of problems when it comes to its ability. Many cyber pirates and hackers often use this method to gain access to someone's computer. It is a remote access Trojan. Hope this article helps.

Question from David Fitioric: Do you think that more retirees and seniors are going to choose to stay working now given the economic bust?
