Online Security Threats




    COMPUTER PROTECTION AGAINST:
  • Viruses
    A virus is a manmade program or piece of code that causes an unexpected, usually negative, event. Viruses are often disguised games or images with clever marketing titles such as "Me, nude."
  • Worms
    Computer Worms are viruses that reside in the active memory of a computer and duplicate themselves. They may send copies of themselves to other computers, such as through email or Internet Relay Chat (IRC).
  • Trojan Horses
    A Trojan horse program is a malicious program that pretends to be a benign application; a Trojan horse program purposefully does something the user does not expect. Trojans are not viruses since they do not replicate, but Trojan horse programs can be just as destructive.

Your privacy is being invaded.

What you are doing on your computer right now might be watched by third parties. They are stealing your email address to spam you. They know what you typed to your family, friends and coworkers. They know what you are emailing to people. They watch your IMs. Hackers are watching to capture your credit card numbers, passwords, and other personal information. The online world has not been safe. You need to check for online security threats.



Did you download Spyware on your computer?

Some online programs (such as some toolbars, coupons/rebates memberships, or free music downloads) are being intentionally packaged with software to display advertising on your screen, gather information on your browsing habits, and to sell your unused CPU and disk space. They can track your surfing habits, abuse your Internet connection by sending this data to a third party, profile your shopping preferences, hijack your browser start page or pages, alter important system files, and can do this without your knowledge or permission. The online security threats and privacy implications of these exploits should be quite obvious and undesirable on any system or network, at home or at work!
    What exactly can these computer spyware programs do?
  • Monitor your e-mail and send out the contents.
  • Send email as you.
  • Allow a real, human spy into your system.
  • Change documents and information stored on your computer.
  • Spawn constant pop-up advertisements.
