McAfee launches ‘online 911′ for cybercrime victims

April 28th, 2009 Rob Douglas

From the news you can use department, PC World reports:

McAfee has launched a new Web site designed to help cybercrime victims recover from hacker attacks.

The company bills its Cybercrime Response Unit as a kind of “online 911″ where consumers and small-business owners can figure out whether they’ve been hacked, and to take the first steps to connect with law enforcement once they know a crime has been committed.

The site helps victims triage any common computer problems. For example, it can tell them what to do if they’ve opened an attachment that they now think may have been malicious, or if they’re worried that their child may be talking to a predator online.
