Using Computer Security Wisely

No one would let their children play in the streets without supervision and safety information

. No one would throw caution to the wind and randomly venture into unfamiliar streets or neighborhoods. That just doesn't make much sense. Yet, some people do this everyday. Cruising through cyberspace in your motorized computer can be just as dangerous for you, your computer or your child. Dangers are lurking everywhere, claiming innocent victims everyday day all over the world. Keeping yourself, your family and computer safe while enjoying the internet is just a matter of finding and using the right training and information.

There are plenty of unscrupulous and bad entities floating anonymously in cyberspace, just waiting for an unsuspecting user or computer to float by. Surfing around the internet with no protection or safeguards is like walking around downtown after midnight with a wad of cash hanging out of your fanny pack and taking your sweet time. In other words, it is dangerous and could potentially be deadly.

Identity thief is seeing a steady climb in numbers, year after year. Computer hackers have continually perfected the art and ease of stealing personal bank information, credit card numbers as well as social security numbers. Attacking your computer with all the personal information about you is no different than being robbed on the street. The end result is the same; someone else has access to your money and all your sensitive information and can easily prove they are you.

On the other hand, there are people out there that just want to harm other people, to make their lives harder than they already are. There are people that just want to make your computer crash. It is like a sport to them and the more people that they mess up, the happier they are. These people are sick and should all be put behind bars for being cyber-vandals. These people are bad enough because they use up your time and cause you problems and frustrations, but the thieves are the worst part.

There are some things that you can do to protect your family and computers. There are programs that will help you stay away form the worst of the sites and block any of the bad stuff that tries to get into your computer. There are always updates and it is important to keep up with them because the bad guys are always trying to stay one step ahead of the good guys. It is often a matter of solving a problem after it has already been discovered.
