Internet Privacy
By Steve, Fri Dec 9th
Privacy on the internet, Over the past few years as the internet has become more and morepopular, privacy has become a major issue. Just as if you arewalking down the street and can be watched, every click of yourmouse every website you browse, or file you download, istraceable. In recent years this has become a major issue. Spyware: The most currently talked about privacy issue at themoment. are little programmes that can easily be pickedup by surfing any website or downloading files. canpickup information from where you surf to your credit carddetails, this information then can be sold.
Generally only the "Dodgy" websites give you but peopleare now creating harmless looking websites with real content butonly offering a download that may be Spyware. There are manydevelopers trying to create software that will infiltrate theSpyware and take it out, but just as smart these coders are soare the Bad guys. Microsoft are waging war on bydeveloping their own free downloadable remover, butalready in the beta stages, viruses have been made to stopMicrosoft's Anti-Spyware programme in its tracks. This is thelengths these malicious coders will go to, to keep their pieceof the pie. Cookies: Cookies sounds
like something yummy, but on theinternet cookies can be the opposite. Cookies are great tools asthey allow websites to recognise you when you come back to viewtheir pages. The major issue with this is some webmasterscollect data on you from passwords to private and personalinformation. Cookies can even help nasty people to steal youridentity. In 2003 Identity Fraud World Wide was estimated to beapproximately $100 Billion USD. By the end of 2005 it isestimated identity fraud will cause up to 5 Trillion DollarsWorld Wide. It is totally important to protect yourself online.There are plenty of decent quality removal tools. Mycurrent favourite is Ad-Aware, which does a very good job ofremoving Spyware, and the programme even keeps it self up todate with the latest definitions. A few more things to keep in mind: Keep your Anti-Spyware and Anti-Virus software up to date.Regularly run your Anti-Spyware and Anti-virus programmes. Onlysubmit Private and Personal information to Secure Websites.Never give out any personal information to non trusted websites.Clear your internet browser cache regularly. Never assume anyoneis as honest as you.
