Expert Author: Chris Amissah As a home computer user, you need to make sure that your computer is safe from any form of malicious online attack, including hacking. You might have important data including any identification in your computer which intruders can have access to. It is therefore very important for you to find out just how safe your computer is from these potential attacks. Expert Author: John Johnson FTP (File Transfer Protocol) has been the basis for file transfer since the dawn of the internet. The truly remarkable feature about FTP was that it was operating system independent. Files could be smoothly transferred between Unix, Windows and any other operating system. The other cool feature about FTP was that a simple validation mechanism consisting of a username and a password could be used to limit access to files. However, the actual data itself was transferred unencrypted and it was easy to intercept and listen in on an FTP connection. Expert Author: Bryce Reed Over 75 per cent of all computers are infected by viruses. Your computer may be infected also.

Expert Author: Dave Page The XP Antivirus 2008 is a deceitful, harmful and widespread counterfeit antispyware that has destroyed many computers on the internet. XP Antivirus 2008 occurs when a fake video codec is installed that contains malware, trojans and/or other viruses. Expert Author: Dave Page The win32/adware.virtumonde virus is a Trojan horse virus which is annoying and generally a nightmare to get rid of. Most people will experience a virus at some point in their life but this one, I have to say, is one of the worst there is. I say that because of its annoyance rather than it completely destroying your computer. Expert Author: David ZHENG In this UK access control market research report we have studied the access control sector in private commercial applications and public non-residential applications together with use in retail, domestic, industrial and financial sectors. Major applications include hotels, offices and health establishments.

Expert Author: Sandra Prior Firewalls can detect and stop probes into your system. If your system is properly secured, any probes will have no effect at all, so all the firewall is doing is telling you about them. It’s better to spend time checking your computer’s security rather than spend money on a firewall. Expert Author: Sandra Prior Sometimes it seems that you can never be safe on the Internet. You update your antivirus program, then read some story about the dangers of cookies or something. You download a ‘cookie crusher’ utility, then find out about port scanning. And spyware. And all the scary things hackers can do too your system. It’s amazing that anyone has the courage to go online at all. Expert Author: Sandra Prior When something is stored on your computer or sent by email, it means others can get their hands on it. While few of us store secret blueprints for atom bombs on our PCs, we’ve still got information we’d rather keep away from prying eyes: the Excel spreadsheets we use to keep track of our finances, the Word documents that outline our plans for world domination, or the email evidence of our torrid love lives. Expert Author: Jignesh Padhiyar The most of peoples make blunder when the topic of a computer virus arises is to refer to a worm or Trojan horse as a virus. While the words Trojan, worm and virus are often used interchangeably, they are not the same. Viruses, worms and Trojan Horses are all malicious programs that can cause damage to your computer, but there are differences among the three, and knowing those differences can help you to better protect your computer from their often damaging effects. Expert Author: Pamela Lund In today’s world where much of our personal information and financial transactions are processed via the Internet, data encryption is an essential element to any effective computer security system. This activity is why encryption is important. One of the main reasons why encryption is important has to deal with the way that information is sent via the Internet. Expert Author: Pamela Lund Data Encryption is a way that you can protect your computer data from outside sources. Originally designed to protect government and military secrets, this protection is now being implemented by many types of businesses. Learn about the pros and cons of software based data encryption versus hardware based encryption. Expert Author: Mark R. Rustad A gunshot goes off in the night. By the time the responding officer arrives, it may be difficult for the reporting parties to recall which direction it came from. In areas with a high amount of gunfire, cities are installing acoustic gunshot detection systems. These sensors not only identify the difference between a gunshot and a car backfiring but then send information back to a sophisticated mapping system which triangulates where the potential suspect may be. Expert Author: Dave Page A virus is known to many as an agent that causes different diseases. They have many modes of infecting all of the members of the animal kingdom. Although there are different types of viruses, they have one commonality; they are all harmful. Nowadays, the term virus has taken a different turn when it comes to the meaning. Now, it is more commonly associated with anything that brings a computer to its demise or to something close to that. Expert Author: Sandra Prior If you received an email from a friend, warning of a dangerous new virus, telling you how to prevent it striking, and asking you to pass it on, what would you do? Most people want to look out for their friends, and so happily pass on the warning. It’s a good move morally, but not technically, because the majority of these messages are hoaxes. In this article we reveal how to spot hoax virus warnings and what to do if you discover the message to be legitimate. Expert Author: Ryan Baxter Surfing the web doesn’t come without risks. Identity theft, spyware, invasion of privacy, and annoying SPAM are some of the annoyances and threats that you can run into just by surfing the web. Everyone deserves their privacy, both offline, and online. You shouldn’t have to worry about someone keeping track of our browsing habits, but when you are surfing the web, you do. The truth is, Spyware, Cookies, and your IP address can all be used to track your web surfing habits. Expert Author: Mike Ward One of the latest security technologies being developed is facial recognition software. Initial research in the field was started in the 1960’s; however it has not been in widespread use until recently. Faster computer processing speeds, Wi-Fi networks, wireless security cameras, better bandwidth, and greater storage capacity are major contributors to its realization. Today massive amounts of data can be stored in linked databases, and quickly searched with ever improving algorithms. Expert Author: Mike Ward Privacy advocates point to police failures arguing the abandonment of security cameras in public places. Advances in technology are eliminating these arguments and now even the common homeowner can monitor their property with affordable wireless surveillance cameras. Expert Author: Sandra Prior Email is fine for getting a message across and sorting out meetings, but it can be a bit dull, which is where file attachments come in. For instance, if you see a funny cartoon on the Net that you’d like to share with your mate, by all means send it, but check that it’s fine by them first. Their email account may have a limit on such things – they may only be able to accept straight text, or files up to a certain size.
