Christmas is all around and for most of us, it’s time to take a break from daily activities. However, not all of us could stand stay away from the computer even for a very short time like as you want to buy something online since a lot of online stores provide with end year discount which you can’t resist, or play the game, and not to mention to check up on the email from work. Keep your computer safe is kind of important as you travel to many places since when it has problems, you might not able to fix it as soon as possible, especially as we speak about its system. So, what are you going to do in order to give extra protection for your computer during this winter break? Okay, let’s call each of them now.

It’s for sure you need the antivirus updated and not to mention all security patches are installed. As you have windows as your OS, make sure the windows update is on by going to the Control Panel Home. As you browse online for the shopping or checking up on your email, make sure the safety is in the top priority is kind of crucial. How you do it? It’s very simple, you just need to use the latest browser and do not forget to turn on “real-time” protection of your antivirus.

Malware should be the main threat you need to look for since those are nasty intruders that we often call viruses, Trojans, worms or spyware. However, you have to remember no protection is 100%, so thinking before you click and be prepared to remove infections by using a firewall. Firewalls can be hardware or software and screen Internet traffic as a first line of defense.

When you are checking up on your email, don’t you dare to forget to use spam filters. Most email programs include a spam and junk filter. Not only can you trash unwanted junk mail, but you can disable email links (recommended) and be warned of malicious content. That kind of feature really is important since plenty malicious emails out there that look legitimate, but on the inside, they could make your day living as hell and that is why you need to be careful when opening emails and never click on attachments or links unless you are certain of the source.

Hello guys, how are you doing this weekend? You have no plan to go somewhere or just spend the time hangout with your friend? As you do not have something to do, you could join with me here and get more information about technology. What are we going to talk about right now? What I talk about will always relate to the internet or any kind of technology and on this special occasion, I am going to discuss the Usenet. Have you ever heard about that thing? For you who often use the internet might know this worldwide distributed Internet discussion system. In order to give you more information, let me explain this kind of good topic you do not want to miss out even a bit. Let’s start about its description.

Basically, Usenet consists of many, ongoing discussions, dealing with a wide variety of subjects. The topics relate to both work and leisure. Usenet tries to encompass only those people interested in a particular topic by dividing the subject areas into newsgroups. So, the Usenet is more like a forum where you could discuss everything there. It could be such useful information for you to know that Usenet is one of the oldest computer network communications systems still in widespread use. The idea of Usenet originally came at 1979 and publicly established in 1980 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University.

Why you use Usenet? That kind of question really is good and let me try to answer it. Basically, most people who are using the Usenet know and notice that this is an easy way for them to find almost all information. What the difference between the Usenet and internet itself? When you are browsing on the internet, you will not only get the information you are looking for specifically, but you could also will get annoying advertisements, videos, sounds, and stuff which also means that it takes much more time for you to access the main information through the internet and not to mention through those things, it’s possible for you to get viruses or malware and stuff. The Usenet is much less complicated than this because it is a text-based system. This means that there is no way to force something to load on your computer through a webpage on this system.

Are you going to get any information you wanted? It’s absolutely yes because Usenet is a giant, worldwide electronic bulletin board. Anyone can freely post something on this bulletin board. Everyone else can read the posted items and add their own items.

Malware on the Android Device

Kemin On November - 15 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

Virus is known as the most annoying and destructive matter that most people hate. Virus makes our system really bad and not to mention that it could also be a medium for bad people to do some crimes to us. Through this beautiful evening, it’s time for me to show you how to protect your android device from the virus attack which could lead into something. We can’t deny the fact that Android is the most popular smartphone operation system since most people are using it due to the fact that it’s great, easy to use, amazing, has so many features, and so forth. Based on that kinds of reason, the threats are significantly rising, especially as we speak about the virus and that is why it’s critical for you to find the right option in order to prevent such a bad thing from happening and ruin your whole day.

Although the Android market is amazing place for the Android users to get the application, we should see that it could be a loop hole that hackers could take advantage by pushing malware as well as viruses. We look a few known malware types, currently targeting Android devices. Let me show you each of them right now. The virus that collects data and personal information then sends it to a remote server for ‘harvesting’ by hackers is known as SW.SecurePhone (virus). What this is all about? As you have this virus on your device, it’s kind of annoying since it spreads adware as well as unsolicited spam emails. It might not dangerous, but when it’s used by bad people, the disaster with come and not to mention that it could be threat to your personal ‘wealth and safety’. The main characteristic of this virus is usually running the background without any icon being displayed, making it very difficult to remove. Windows users will be more than familiar with this annoying problem, as the operating system is highly vulnerable to attacks.

Another popular malware on the Android device is Soundminer. When there is an application runs and asks permission to access the handset’s microphone, your device is infected by the virus. The ability of recording calls and applies a pattern analysis coder capable of ‘predicting’ the likely content of a voice call is kind of amazing from this virus, but you also need to aware that valuable calls with automated bank systems for example, are recorded and given a hackers ‘value rating’. This applies to the data spoken and input into the phone, via the keypad.

Fending Off Adware and Spyware

Kemin On October - 12 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

Adware and Spyware are two common problems that computer owner needs to deal with and it really is good for you to fear about such a thing because it could bring so many troubles into your network as we speak about big enterprise. At the first time you get your computer installed and run the whole operating system, you know everything’s right without any problem as well as starting installing various games and programs, download some tunes and some photos onto your machine. But lately, you find out that you computer’s run becomes a little bit slow than the way it used to be and not to mention that gradually over time it seems to be getting worse. Well, unless you have used up all of your memory and hard drive space, then perhaps what you are dealing with is a dreaded adware or spyware program(s).

 

It’s kind of better for you who are on this kind of matter to bring a broad description about what those who things are before you jump to conclusions about what you should do. Based on Wikipedia, Adware, or advertising-supported software, is any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertisements to a computer, while Spyware is a type of malware that can be installed on computers, and which collects small pieces of information about users without their knowledge. The presence of spyware is typically hidden from the user, and can be difficult to detect.

 

You might face the situation when you downloaded music online (only illicit sources count), or if your homepage keeps on magically changing, or if you keep getting horrendously annoying pop-up ads, and see that your computer is running uncharacteristically slow, then your privacy is indeed being invaded by adware and spyware programs. Those above are common matters that you have to deal as you have spyware and adware on the computer. You should notice that these adware and spyware programs may seriously damage your computer and in the extreme, they may even end up affecting your life in the real world.

 

Knowing that data breach activity becomes really common in this modern era when the technology of computer is kind of amazing, I think it’s the right time for you to know more about what you are going to in order to prevent such a thing from happening, especially as we mention about data breach and identity theft that could lead into loss of profit and any other bad effects about it. You already passed the most important thing during this process, which is knowing exactly what data breach is through our recent article and we are going to move into another part.

 

Okay, let’s answer this question—why do data thieves attack corporate computer networks or doing the data breach? It’s because that’s where the data is. As you all know that the attacker is doing the data breach by two common ways, which are: A data thief will either employ physical means, such as dumpster diving, social engineering or a simple break-in; or via the internet. You all know that most businesses on the entire world now are using the internet as part of global business system which could bring a lot of profits to their pocket and not to mention that no business today can afford to be left behind technologically. What does it mean? That is right—corporate environments in all over the world now are obtaining computers, networks and electronically stored information.

 

Dealing with data breach through the internet will be kind of hard task to accomplish, especially since we mention that the money you have to pay is not going to be really small, in case we talk about the amount. Electronic files are highly sought after by would-be data thieves for the wealth of personal information they contain. There are HR files, accounting information, customer and vendor lists; the list goes on and on. All of these kinds of records are full of sensitive information which can be exploited for personal gain by data thieves.

IT plays important role in the way we increase the productivity which also means that this is the way we make profit as a real result. One kind of bad effect the computer we are about to discuss is data breach. What do you know about it? Is it important for you to know about it? Let’s sit tight and give the time to provide you with such useful information, especially for you who are new about it.

 

Based on the reports of Symantic Corp. and the Ponemon Institute, there is a horrible fact we could see, which is that the average organizational cost of a data breach in 2010 was $7.2 million! You may think, well, that’s just for large companies and you would be correct; but what they also reported was that the average cost per compromised record averaged $214. According to Wikipedia, A data breach is the intentional or unintentional release of secure information to an un-trusted environment. They also added that other terms for this phenomenon include unintentional information disclosure, data leak and also data spill. You should from here that it is really crucial for you to keep the data of your company is proper security because you do not want to get such a bad thing happens.

 

In addition, definition “A data breach is a security incident in which sensitive, protected or confidential data is copied, transmitted, viewed, stolen or used by an individual unauthorized to do so.” Financial information like credit card or bank details, personal health information (PHI) could be the main target of data breach.
