PC Safety (Special 1) Troubles
When I began my adventures on the Internet, all turned out to be fantastic, easy ... A world of open doors and opportunities to learn anything quickly and away from real life fears. Wednesday, March 31, 2010
Welcome Address In Schools
Obviously, it was an unsuspecting surfer and free from fear or fears, because "what I can pass through a computer?" I said to myself. Soon I began to see the dark side of the network and the risks that today we may suffer if we are not ready, predictable and apply common sense in the digital world to life. Virus useless left our teams, Trojans and malicious programs that steal personal information for use in fraud, theft of money through online banking, spam continues to get our mail, online shopping scams ...
is why we decided to create a series of guides or tutorials to present some guidelines to follow, if we enjoy the benefits of the network without fear of taking risks that unfortunately people have suffered more than we think.
Common sense
Real life is full of good things, but equally, we also find many other things that can cause injury. The experience and risk awareness make us walk with caution to different situations:
Who leaves his house without doors?
"surrender to any stranger the keys to your car?
Would you would trust someone who promises to give you a lot of money doing almost nothing?
The answers to these questions are self-evident. Of them can make it clear that we use common sense and the fact of keeping guard against such situations, greatly reduces the chance of scams, assaults, robberies, kidnappings or even in some cases. As in real life, our foray into the network should not be open to anyone. We need to create those same strengths and apply certain precautions to reduce the chance of all these attacks and scams.
A secure PC is a guarantee of peace
The first of the measures we should take is to protect your computer from external threats. In this regard, it is as if we have a house and set its doors, locks with key, windows, fences ... Let's say you try to keep our possessions safe, any threat that seeks to enter or take anything without our consent.
Currently there are different tools for each type of threat known. Each one is responsible (as you would at home) to deal with malicious programs that burrow and destroy your PC for criminal purposes or simply to do harm.
Firewall or Firewall
The firewall is a program designed to stop unauthorized data input to our computer, from internet or suspicious programs connecting to the network internally, warning and requesting permission to block or allowing such work.
could say it's like the security guard of a bank: if someone suspicious enters stop it, or if someone tries to get something in an unauthorized manner, blocks it.
Windows includes its own firewall, but there are separate tools that do very good job. Among them, we highlight the popular:
ZoneAlarm Security Suite 7.0.337.000 Antivirus
Perhaps the best known security program by any user. Viruses, in general, are aimed at other targets other than the spyware or adware (see below).
code files are created by hackers, which in most cases destroy parts of the structure of the operating system or prevent we can work quietly, with acts that alter the natural behavior of the latter.
Its distribution is based on the lack of common sense of society and used as the main method of concealment in containers of files that are downloaded from the Internet, but lately, they've evolved to take advantage of USB sticks for moving from one place to another .
I know that many people download programs, movies or games from the internet to avoid paying for the original. Hackers are aware of this and put them in keygens or password generators.
If a virus launches a virus alert, usually a virus, so is in your hands and letting this be installed on your computers (with the consequences that this carries) or protect you as you would do before the entry into your house to someone who already tuvierais suspicions.
There are many antivirus market to use. We have them paid and free, with more features or less, local and online ...
Choose one or the other is more difficult than we think, we all carry out their function in much the same way. So I recommend using free. Among the best known are:
Premium 8 Avira AntiVir PersonalEdition Avast! Antivirus Professional 5.0.418 Microsoft Security Essentials antispyware programs or Antispyware
Perhaps, today, this type of program are the most damaging and present. Spyware, as its name suggests, are small pieces of code that
sneak into your computer to find information, browsing history, passwords collection services ... and then send this information to its creators to try to get commercial , identity theft, social networking, obtaining e-mail listing to carry out spam, etc..
addition, these malicious programs use much of our computer resources and bandwidth, causing the computer and connection speed slows down very much.
As viruses are often hidden in data packets that are downloaded from the Internet, although we go through the mail or web page created for this purpose.
There are many tools that analyze and eliminate this type of adware and malware on the market. We have them paid and free, the most popular and effective in the second one:
Ad-Aware Free Spybot S & D protecting them from data loss
points described in the first part of our guide to navigating safely through Internet are very effective but not ruthless. Perhaps the infection of our equipment from one of these little programs does not affect too much of certain types of users, they do not possess documents or files of importance, but in other cases, we speak of users have stored on their computers relevant documents , photographs do not want to lose after formatting (By infection), videos, work files, etc.
always recommend to my friends and Configurarequipos users, backing up important files regularly. Most virus infections are difficult to remove, ultimately causing the need for formatting and data loss, it is therefore important to make these copies with programs that offer the possibility to carry out automatically and under a timetable.
Conclusions
In this tutorial we have learned one thing above the rest: common sense is stronger at the attacks that the tools exist to prevent them. Still, it is important to first be made on any new computer or operating system installation, be prepare all the security arsenal that will allow us to navigate the Internet safely.
far the first of the tutorials, we will continue with new guidelines on e-mail Security, Online Shopping ...
