Tips For Safer Computing Online
by: BB Lee
New computer viruses threaten the unwary user everyday. Hackers jeopardize your online security with invasive computer techniques to steal your passwords, personal information, even identity.
Unscrupulous marketers bait you with free software that unleashes spyware, trojans, or worms, on your system.
While other marketers bombard you with popups at every turn. And others send unsolicited spy emails asking you to click links to unsafe websites that install threating software on your computer, or try to download your private information.
These are only a few of the security issues involved while online.
Read through the following list to arm your computer and protect yourself against these vicious and often malicious online attacks.
1. Install a good anti-virus software.
Here's a good free anti-virus software... Fr** AVG Anti-Virus...... New - AVG Fr** Edition is now available for all single home users worldwide! More detailed information can be found in the AVG Free Edition License Agreement. Click Here To Download: http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php
2. Install a personal firewall.
This personal firewall is one of the best online.... http://www.zonealarm.com
3. Install a good pop up blocker.
Google has a free pop up blocker so does Yahoo. The only drawback is you will have to download and install their toolbar.
4. Know Privacy Policy.
Read the websites privacy policy before releasing personal information. Note do they share or sell your information with third parties. If they do you might reconsider releasing your personal information.
5. Passwords.
Never use easy to guess passwords like your favorite color, your social security number, your birthdate, words less than six characters. Mix up passwords with combinations of numbers and symbols.
6. Virus Warnings.
Don't forward virus warnings you receive in emails. It's not your job to warn others. And you might be circulating a fake warning designed to scare receivers into downloading trojans or removing important files on their computer.
7. Keep It Secret.
Don't give your password to anyone. Be wary of emails asking you to give out your personal passwords for accounts online. Or emails asking you to click a link and enter your password on the site. This site might be a fake sent by hackers "phishing" for victims.
8. Primary Email Address.
Don't divulge your primary email address on unfamiliar sites. You might be bombarded with unsolicited emails by marketers who sell your address to third parties online.
9. Free Accounts.
Set up several free email accounts with a psuedo name to handle spam, when you register with unfamiliar sites, or to use on chat and message boards.
10. Chat Line And Message Board Warnings.
Don't release personal information on chat lines or message boards. This is one way many identity thefts occur.

cable television commercials
Netscape Corporation has created the best known secure server technologies. It uses a security protocol called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) that provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. When a client seeking to purchase cable television commercials connects with a secure server, they exchange a *handshake* which initiates a secure session. With this protocol, the same server system can run both secure and unsecured web servers simultaneously. This means an cable television commercials organization or company can provide some information to all users using no security, and other information that is secured. For example, a business that sells cable television commercials online can have its storefront (merchandise catalog) unsecured, but ordering and payment forms can be secure.
Why are these developments important? As the Internet becomes a way to buy and sell cable television commercials products and services, financial transactions become essential. Right now, most cable television commercials transactions involve the exchange of credit card information, either directly over the network, or by phone, to complete a transaction initiated online. Eventually, you will be able to use cash as well as credit, directly over the network.
There are two basic kinds of digital cash, anonymous cash and identified cash. Anonymous cash is just like paying for cable television commercials with paper cash but it also carries no information about the person making the transaction, and leaves no transaction trail. You create it by using numbered bank accounts and blind signatures. Identified cash, on the other hand, contains information revealing the identity of the person who withdrew it from the bank. Like credit card transactions, identified cash can be tracked as it moves through the system and involves fully identified accounts and non-blind signatures. Whether you use digital cash when purchasing cable television commercials is entirely up to you. We suggest you employ the purchasing avenues available from the cable television commercials supplier we recommend.
