Protect your family and your computer How do you protect your computer?
A computer can be a work machine, a household reference source and a child's
toy during different times of the day depending on who in the family is using
it. As
computers become simpler to use, even for a four year old, the technology
computers use is still highly technical and complex. So, one wonders how we,
as parents, can secure our computers and families from modern threats
targeting them through this technology?
With
the ease and freedom of surfing the information highway, the responsibility
to allow access to useful and safe resources and to avoid resources that are
harmful and unsafe is becoming more important for us to think about and act
on each day. How does online security affect me? The
example of a four year old girl, who proudly showed her parents a new game
that she found on their computer, is an example of what could happen to
anyone. On one hand, her parents were
impressed that she had found a link to an online backgammon game which they
did not know was installed on their computer, however, on the other hand,
they were shocked to see someone writing "hello" to the child in a
message window that came with the game.
At four years old the child did not notice the message but the parents
did.
In
ideal situations this event would be harmless, as the person using online
backgammon would hopefully have been an ethical person playing backgammon as
a social outlet, but there is the possibility, that the person may not have a
well formed conscience and the outcome could be very different. The event highlights to us parents how easy
it is for someone outside the home to enter through this "virtual
medium", the computer and make contact with vulnerable members of our
family.
Although,
there is no substitute for 100% parental supervision and education of anyone
using computers and the Internet, there is software to help reduce the risk
of this type and many more types of invasion through the home and internet. What else do I have to look out for? To
effectively reduce threats arriving to you and your family through your
computer, the ideal software would address these broad areas of online risk. Malware Software that acts like: ·
viruses - spreading itself
from one computer to another, ·
spyware - sending information
from your computer to another, ·
trojans - that provide a
legitimate feature but have a hidden agenda behind it, ·
rootkits - that take control
of your computer system without permission, ·
bots - that run automated
tasks over the Internet and more... Identity theft Through ·
Fraudulent email and scams
while you shop, bank or pay bills online. ·
Malware used by
cyber-criminals to steal banking credentials. ·
Silently-installed rootkits
used by malware or hackers to evade traditional antivirus products SPAM E-mail that interrupts e-mail services and
reduces effectiveness of receiving e-mails you do want. Access to inappropriate websites and Websites with violent, adult, or racist content,
as well as other inappropriate websites. Prevention and recovery from computer damage Safeguard important documents from accidental
loss or damage and removing unnecessary registry entries, deleting temporary
files and speeding up your hard disk.
Who can help defend me from these online threats? The
threats listed above cover a wide area of risk from a number of sources, so
the question is, "who is able to address each of these risks factors
effectively?" The answer to this question in not as hard as it
seems. The answer is Panda Security. Why? Well
