Computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the user. The original may modify the copies or the copies may modify themselves, as occurs in a metamorphic virus. It can spread from one computer to another by help of network connection or carrying it on a removable medium such as floppy disk, CD, DVD, USB drive or by the Internet. But viruses are not equal to computer worms and Trojan horses. A worm can spread itself to other computers without being transferred as a part of a host, and a Trojan horse is a file that appears harmless until executed.
Many PCs are now connected to the Internet and/or to local area networks. Today's viruses may also take advantage of network services (World Wide Web, e-mail, file sharing systems). Some viruses are programmed to damage the computer by damaging programs, deleting files, or reformatting the hard disk. Others are harmless, but simply replicate themselves and make their presence known by presenting text, video, or audio messages. Although these viruses are not dangerous, they can create problems for the computer user. As a result they often cause erratic behavior and can result in system crashes. In addition, many viruses are bug-ridden, and these bugs may lead to system crashes and data loss.

Title: How To Secure Your Computer System?
|
|
Today, more and more people are using their computers for everything from communication to online banking and investing to shopping. As we do these things on a more regular basis, we open ourselves up to potential hackers, attackers and crackers. There are numerous ways in which the security of your computer can be breached. The most common threats come from worms, viruses, Trojans, phishing, hackers and crackers. Potential security breaches can come in the form of downloading unfamiliar email attachments, being monitored by spyware, maliciously attacked by malware, or probed through port scanning. Computer security can be a difficult concept for many people. But as long as you follow these easy, cost-effective steps, you can take to make your computer more secure. 1. Always make backups of important information and store in a safe place separate from your computer. There are so many ways you can lose the information on your computer. Your child decides to play Chopin on your keyboard, a power surge, lightening, a virus, or even simple equipment failure. Therefore, backing up the contents of your hard drive is an absolute MUST. By regularly making backup copies of your files and storing them in a separate location, you can typically get some, if not all, of your information back in the event your computer crashes. 2. Don't run unfamiliar programs on your computer and do not open unknown email attachments. It sounds like common sense, but many of the most prominent attacks have involved spyware and email attachment worms such as Bagle and Netsky. If you don't recognize the sender, don't download its attachments. Sometimes it is simply not enough that you may recognize the address from which it originates because many viruses can spread from a familiar address. 3. Update and patch your operating system,web browser and other applications frequently. Many industry experts believe that most network security attacks would be stopped if computer users would just keep their computers updated with patches and security fixes. Too often, we forget to do this on a regular basis. Remember that every day, new viruses, worms and Trojans are being created and distributed. They are looking for the weaknesses in your computer system. Having outdated software is basically the same as holding the door open and inviting them in for a visit. 4. Install a firewall. Without a good firewall, viruses, worms, Trojans, malware and adware can all easily access your computer from the Internet. Consideration should be given to the benefits and differences between hardware and software based firewall programs. 5. Install antivirus software and set for automatic updates so that you receive the most current versions. 6. Don't use weak passwords. Use passwords which are difficult for someone to figure out. People frequently use the names of children, pets, anniversary dates, or birthdays. Because there seems to be a password needed for everything, it is not uncommon to see many people using the same password for everything. Big mistake! The use of only one password provides a hacker with easy access to a smorgasbord of personal information. If you have to write your passwords down, it is best not to leave them on a post-it, attached to the screen of your computer. You may chuckle at the absurdity, but it happens more than you think. 7. Don't allow unrestricted physical access to your computer. If you have sensitive or proprietary information on your computer, allowing other employees or family members to use your computer can lead to potential breaches in your computer's security.

Title: Ten Simple Steps To Making Your Computer More Secure
|
|
More people are using their computers for everything from communication to online banking and investing to shopping. As we do these things on a more regular basis, we open ourselves up to possible hackers, attackers and crackers. While some may be looking to phish your personal information and identity for resale, others merely just want to use your computer as a platform from which to assault other unknowing targets. Below are straightforward, cost-effective steps you can take to make your computer more secure. 1. Do make backups of important information and store in a safe place separate from your computer. 2. Do update and patch your operating system, web browser and software frequently. If you have a Windows operating system, start by going to Windows Update at Microsoft and running the update wizard. This program will help you find the latest patches for your Windows computer. Also, go to Office Update at Microsoft to locate possible patches for your Office programs. 3. Do install a firewall. Without a good firewall, viruses, worms, Trojans, malware and adware can easily access your computer from the Internet. Consideration should also be given to the benefits and differences between hardware and software based firewall programs. 4. Do review your browser and email settings for optimum security. Why should you do this? Active-X and JavaScript are often used by hackers to plant malicious programs into your computers. While cookies are relatively harmless in terms of security concerns, they do still track your movements on the Internet to build a profile of you. At a minimum set your security setting for the internet zone to High, and your trusted sites zone to Medium Low. 5. Do install anti-virus software and set for automatic updates so that you receive the most current versions. 6. Do not open unknown email attachments. It is simply not enough that you may recognize the address from which it originates because many viruses can spread from a familiar address. 7. Do not run programs from unknown origins. Also, do not send these types of programs to friends and coworkers because they contain funny or amusing stories or jokes. They may contain a Trojans horse waiting to infect a computer. 8. Do disable hidden filename extensions. By default, the Windows operating system is set to hide file extensions for known file types. Disable this option so that file extensions display in Windows. Some file extensions will, by default, continue to remain hidden, but you are more likely to see any unusual file extensions that do not belong. 9. Do turn off your computer and disconnect from the network when not using the computer. A hacker cannot attack your computer when you are disconnected from the network or the computer is off. 10. Do consider making a boot disk on a floppy disk in case your computer is damaged or compromised by a malicious program. Obviously, you need to take this step before you experience a hostile breach of your system. These are just some of the simple steps to make your computer a more secure system and reduce the risk of inviting an unwelcome intruder into your home computing system. The more knowledge you obtain about PC protection, the better you will be able to prevent these malicious programs.

Title: The threats to your online security
|
|
Online security can be referred as one of the biggest challenges most computer users face in today’s internet world. It is reported that every year millions of people are becoming victims of security threats. The majority of the online security threats are done by hackers or attackers with the help of a relatively small availability of exposures. This means that attackers are taking complete advantage of the general failures rather than finding out new or even difficult exploits. So the question remains how to prevent such online security threats? The easiest way to thwart online security threats is being more conscious and knowing some simple tips. Some of the most common online security threats include intrusions, identity theft, information theft, spyware, adware, malware, viruses, trojan horses, and pop-ups. To overcome these threats one need to approach the internet with the best internet security one could receive. Nowadays there are several companies offering security software and hardware to prevent a good amount of online attacks. Using such firewalls and authentication servers are regarded as an ideal way to get away from most online security issues. People who are using antivirus programs and other security suites are recommended to update their program daily. This is necessary as everyday new viruses and security threats are launched in the World Wide Web. Here are some additional tips which will help you to stay safe in the internet against online security issues and enjoy safe browsing. Spyware These days having antivirus software is not enough to keep you safe away from the malicious programs in the internet. Out of these attacks, spyware attacks are becoming the most common online security threat faced by most internet users. Spyware is a computer program which is designed to steal sensitive information such as credit card numbers, passwords, and bank account details from computer users and send it to the spyware designer or attacker. To keep yourself safe away from spyware programs, you need to install any popular anti-spyware programs which can prevent you from spyware attacks. Instant messaging Nowadays many attackers are using instant messaging as an easiest way to attacks one’s system. In order to prevent such attacks you need to configure your instant messaging service efficiently, and by taking control over any file transfer through instant messaging service. Also don’t forget to apply all the up-to-date patches. Mail client Most hackers and attackers utilize the mail client on the users system to spread viruses and worms by including them as email attachments. Configuring your mail server correctly can prevent such attackers. It is recommended to block suspicious attachments with extensions .exe and .vbs. Password protection Almost all online transactions - such as emailing, shopping, online banking - use passwords as the important security method for accessing online information. Hence keeping your password safe is like securing your money or information safe. It is recommended not to use the same password for various accounts. Also, keep in mind not to use passwords (like your last name, date of birth, house name, telephone number, or vehicle number) which other people can easily guess. Try to provide long passwords with alphabets, numbers, and special character combination. File sharing Most computer users use P2P (Peer to Peer) programs as an easy way to share files. Though it is a fact that P2P file sharing is an easy way to share files, in a P2P file sharing process both the computers are open to other people in the P2P network. This provides enough room for a hacker or a network attacker to easily access your computer and download any needed files. Hence, it is recommended not to share files using P2P programs. In order to prevent your system from spyware, you can install trusted anti spyware programs provided by renowned vendors or firewall programs. Remember not to download any free software from un-trusted websites. This is because most of such freeware come with a hidden spyware program in it. Another protection you can take from these online security threats is to always scan files before downloading with a trusted antivirus program.

Title: Defending against multiple attackers
|
|
No martial arts that can effectively defend against multiple attackers. I have been involved in the martial arts for over 18 years, and have yet to see any method that can effectively deal with this problem.
Many arts claim that they can handle a multiple attack situation, but when their methodology is truly test - most fail.
Why is that?
The answer is commercialism. Most martial arts academies assume that people will never get into a multiple confrontation. Because of this mindset, many academies are offering more of the same commercial methods and creating additional problems.
What is the answer?
The simple answer is pepper spray. You don't have to be an expert in the martial arts to use one effectively.
But there is another problem….
• People hardly carry pepper spray
• People hardly check if the unit works
• People don't practice using pepper spray on a routine basis.
The purpose of martial arts training is to condition the neuro- responses. Under stress of an attack, we tend to stop thinking and revert to a survival mode. What is especially helpful is to train the body to automatically respond to these threats - without thinking. But, what usually happens is that a person will take a weekend course, and then forget the techniques when they are under attack. They are satisfied that they have taken the course (and spent thousands of dollars) but in reality, they will forget what they have learned, and keep repeating the cycle over and over.
Effective self-defense is consistent practice. Everyone has at least 10 mins during the day where they can devote themselves to this. This drip approach to learning will cause the muscles to memorize the movements and to respond automatically. You do not have to go through a whole routine that takes hours, just a little bit everyday will help condition your muscles.
Another important facet, to defending against multiple attackers, is to work on your footwork. The method of sliding the feet prevents one from crossing over and tripping while being engaged in an attack. Shuffles should be short and the gap between the legs should always revert back to a comfortable stance. What is needed, during practice, is to work on balance and engage in scenarios where you have multiple people attacking you. From there, you can go through different scenarios and memorize each event. Consistently practicing these scenarios, will engage your muscle memory, and the next time an attack occurs, you will be well prepared for it.
I recommend that you purchase pepper spray that contains water to practice. Try to get a unit that is similar to the one that you will really use. If you use a larger unit to practice and carry a smaller one, this will cause problems within your muscle memory as well.

Title: Computer Security Made Easy
|
|
As more and more people begin to use the internet, be it for communication, online banking, investment or shopping, the potential danger of hackers and malicious attackers increase. While some may simply be after information for phishing or identity resale purposes, others are more dangerous, looking for computers to use to launch attacks such as the infamous Denial of Service or other viruses or trojans at other unknowing targets. The list below contains some easy, cheap methods to make your computer secure. While there are other ways to do so, following the ten steps below will help you begin to protect your computer and your private information. 1. Backup your files and store them in a safe place away from your computer 2. Frequently patch and update your operating system, anti-virus, web browser and internet protection in order to prevent hackers from taking advantage of loopholes in software. You can update your windows operating system quickly at www.windowsupdate.microsoft.com by using the update wizard. Microsoft Office updates can also be found at www.officeupdate.microsoft.com 3. Install a proper firewall. With both a proper hardware and software firewall, most viruses, worms, trojans, malicious programs and adware are removed before they cause any major trouble or damage. It is important to update your firewall regularly as well. 4. Configure your browser and email settings for best security. Programs like ActiveX and Java are most commonly used by hackers to plant malicious programs into your system. Cookies can also be used to track your internet surfing in order to build an online profile of you. A good way to overcome these problems is to configure your internet browser to "high" security settings. At minimum, set your security settings to "high" for the internet and "medium" for your trusted sites zone. 5. Automatically update your antivirus software and internet security softwares. This allows you to receive the most current versions to prevent your computer security from being compromised. 6. Only run email attachments from people you know. And even then, only when you know what you are openning. Often, hackers can use a compromised email address to spam viruses or worms to infect other people. It is not enough to recognise the email address but rather you need to recognise the attachment. 7. Do not run unknown .exe programs. This is the most dangerous thing to do as they often contain trojan horse scripts waiting to infect other computers. 8. Disable hidden filename extensions. This allows you to identify and spot any unknown filenames or programs that may be running on your computer. The Windows default option hides filename extensions so you will have to disable this option. 9. Disconnect your computer from the internet and switch it off when not in use. This prevents a hacker from attacking your computer as it is not hooked up to a network. 10. Make a boot disk on a CD before your computer experiences a hostile breach of security. This allows you to recover the data and your system operations after a successful attack on your computer.
