       HOW CAN YOU PROTECT UR COMPUTER

       Fortunately, there are
       several ways to protect your
       computer from the hackers
       on internet:
       Software Updates
       Software companies are
       always updating their
       products, trying to eliminate
       any security breach that
       could be exploited by
       hackers. For this reason,
       their software makes a
       periodic check on the latest
       version available in the
       internet. It doesn’t matter if
       they are operating systems,
       office suites, drivers, games
       or any other kind of
       specialized software, you
       always need to assure
       yourself that every software
       package is up to date.
       Firewall
       Firewalls became main stream
       with the Internet. Now-a-
       days it ’s impossible to be
       connected to the net without
       being checked by hackers,
       looking for possible
       breaches in your connection.
       Although they can be
       hardware or software, the
       most common one among
       users are the software
       firewalls, which are installed
       in your operating system and
       continually check the
       transmission of information
       from your PC to the external
       world and vice versa.
       Antivirus
       From all the security
       packages that a user needs
       to have installed in his PC,
       antivirus software is the
       first. It has been with us for
       a long time, even before the
       internet and the now common
       news on internet hacking. In
       the old days, virus spread
       through corporate networks
       to employee home computers
       who innocently took work
       home via diskettes. Finally, it
       spread to their friends’
       computers. Today, the
       Internet has provided
       viruses a better way to
       spread themselves through
       the world. A real time
       antivirus software package
       is a must for any user who
       wishes to navigate safely
       through the net and not find
       himself being a victim of a
       hacker attack
