First word to say here is to thank you as my article reader. As you know the internet is become the most tool used around the world if not the first tool to communicate with others. Even though people know and use the internet, they ignore the important thing about it: SECURITY. Yes, the security on the internet is the most important issue people and any beginner should know about. The security on the internet can be worse situation for an user, if the rules are nor understood well. How to secure yourself online? Security online is not only against spammers, unsolicited emails. These two things are nothing, because the real danger is to check up your system, your privacy. Lets talk about that. When you come online, the first thing appear is your IP, this is Internet Protocol, your identification on the network, everybody has his own, never get same IP for two persons. 1user=1IP How your privacy will be revealed? The hackers usually use many means and techniques to get users information and violate their privacy, the following are some: -Using software called patch. -Using scripts as URL -Using fake Email Update The patch is a small software that can be sent to you as image or chat software or any other form, when you receive it is seems a image with jpg form, but when you click on to view it, it install itself into your hard disk and you will not see image so you will delete it, what did u do? You only deleted the Setup. it is installed already with your first click. the famous patch is: sub7 it is the most used by hackers (beginners)
The script is a language can be read by the browser to get orders what to do. It is sent to you as URL. It works like that: You receive email with attracted subject, you click you open it, the message is blank nothing then you delete it While you open it sent already order to your browser to do some tasks these tasks are asked to reside inside your hard disk, the script is a tracking code, like the one used with affiliate programs.

The fake Email update is a technique also most hackers use to hack other users how it works?

You receive email with sender name: Help, support, email team… or something appropriate to your email domain, when you open it you get the main page of your email, did you get it? NO ok I explain more: Let’s say you have hotmail ok? The first page you get when you log on www.hotmail.com is the one you will see when you open this fake email asking you of to log into your email again When you do it, you will sent your pass word to your sender (hacker)

Solution: The first thing to do is clean up your PC, LOOG ON GOOGLE.COM and type free spyware, you will get free spyware, download and install and clean up, do clean up several times up to 3. after that install firewall (protection from hackers you can get free one from my website below.) Don’t forget to install also Anti Virus(protection from Viruses can get free one from my website below.)

Even all cleaning up, the effective way is to own second PC, to keep your privacy away from Internet.

Good luck, any question just drop me email.”
