Internet is the “network of all networks”. It is composed of millions of smaller networks (business, academic, domestic, and government) which carry different information and online-based services, such as online chatting, file transfer, electronic mail services, and interlinked web pages as well as other documents stored in the World Wide Web. With such an enormous interconnection of various networks, transfer and acquisition of information is now fast, efficient, and reliable. Who would ever think that the Internet will be as powerful as it is nowadays?
Aside from fast and efficient transfer of information and other useful data, the Internet is now the biggest job, business, and product marketplace around the world. Whether you are looking for a new job, searching for a new business opportunity to start with, or want to sell or purchase different lines of products, the Internet is the best place to start with. Through various innovations integrated in the information superhighway, Internet became one of the fastest solutions in terms of livelihood and other means of generating revenues for individuals of different interests.
However, there are things that we neglect sometimes, which are superimposed by the benefits offered by the Internet. One of which is the online threats, composed of so-called “cyber criminals”, creating chaos to the Internet public by means of developing virus programs and other elements that may harm an Internet user’s computer system. At first glance, you will think that it is just a simple yet attractive banner ad that pops-up in your computer screen, yet you will realize later on that you are already dealing with a virus program, destroying the internal memory and other components of your computer system.
The increase of online threats and ezula adware is very alarming. Most research shows that there are 3 out of 10 Internet users who are plagued by online threats of varying degrees. Because of lack of necessary security, they have a hard time dealing with these problems, thus losing their computer system within a few days. So sad, but it is the reality that we need to accept.
To avoid getting into such situation, it is strongly recommended that you install a security software into your computer system, especially if it is connected to the Internet. There are hundreds of software developers who created programs that will help you thwart these online threats out of your way. One of which is the CA’s eTrust Internet Security Suite.

If you browse the Internet — and download programs for personal use — the chances are very high that you have inadvertently downloaded some form of spyware adware. This software is classified as malicious in nature, but the good news is that unlike computer viruses and worms, spyware does not typically self replicate so once you are able to get rid of it, it won’t come back unless you unsuspectingly download more software that has the malicious code bundled. The bad news, however, is that because spyware adware is downloaded without the user’s consent and knowledge, people go for days, months or even longer without knowing their system is infected.
For this reason, it is imperative that you have a secure and trusted method for detecting and removing such harmful data from your computer. Left alone, the spyware adware will continue to monitor your Internet behavior and keep track of such things as the websites you visit, passwords, credit card account information and much more. It is easy to see why this type of program is not wanted on your personal computer. To that end, it is highly recommended that you visit one of the secure anti-spyware websites and take advantage of their free products for scanning, detecting and removing this computer hazard. Once you have cleaned your computer files, it is also recommended you do an anti-spyware scan monthly in order to reduce your risk of unwanted computer software.

Right now it’s not a question of if our data will be compromised, but when. We’ve made no appreciable efforts toward information security, and management won’t give be the budget to do it myself
So of course it’s fallen to me to take the initiative to learn more about Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards. I’ll also need to find a way to sell it. Perhaps a full-blown risk assessment.
Naturally they’ll all be pointing the finger at me if we have a major breach, despite their refusal to implement the changes I’m asking for. Sh*t rolls down hill.

We Need The Security Software Industry
Filed Under Computers & Technology :: Site Security | Leave a Comment
In a perfect world, we would not need security software at all. People would not make computer viruses and worms and no one will use the internet to do unethical acts for their own gain. However, such is not the case and in this world we live in, our computer data is never 100% safe. The Security Software Industry has grown by leaps and bounds due to the demand for their services and products, which can significantly reduce the threat of our computer’s security being compromised. Without the industry, something as routine as going online could be a death sentence for your computer data.

A fingerprint biometric is probably the most commonly form used today.

Stay away form clicking links in emails to avoid scams
Filed Under Computers & Technology :: Site Security | Leave a Comment
The challenge for tracking phishing sites is that they are often located offshore and outside of US jurisdiction. By the time law enforcement officials do locate them, they have been taken down and a new site has evolved. There are, however, sites that list known phishing sites so that you are aware of which sites are being targeted and what the general format of the email looks like. This is a good way to stay up to date, particularly if you are running corporate security and need to inform employees.
