Three Steps to PC Security
Plus Additional Security Issues Below
"It's
NOT
a Question of IF, It's a Question of
WHEN"
Is your PC virus proof? Is it safe from hackers and scumbags
who take great pleasure in spying inside it and stealing your
personal and valuable information. Think they can't do that?
Do you think because you've got Norton, you're automatically
protected?
TOTALLY WRONG! Tell that to the thousands and thousand of
people who suffer virus attacks, privacy invasion, and
identity theft every week. Stop the Information Hackers and
Virus Spreaders DEAD with The Newbie Club's "PC and Internet
Security Kit"
This is NOT software. It's a Comprehensive Course showing
How
To Protect yourself with free software available on the 'Net.

The hackers, who develop viruses, worms, spyware and Trojan
Horses never rest. At the same time, another group of companies
and individuals are constantly developing programs that block and
neutralize these malicious programs before they can get into your
PC to steal and/or ruin information.
The hackers aren't going to disappear any time soon, so it is
imperative that you keep your PC protected at all times! If you
employ the three steps outlined below, your PC will
withstand any known threat that can be launched against it.
1. Install and maintain an Antivirus Program
If you run a Windows operating system it is necessary for you to
install an AntiVirus program and keep the virus definitions for it
updated!
McAfee's VirusScan program is one of the best there is. After it
is installed it checks and deletes all known viruses, worms,
spyware and Trojan Horses from your PC. After that it's Silent
Updating feature downloads virus definition updates to your PC on
a continuing basis to insure that your PC is always protected from
the growing list of known threats.
When a virus tries to enter your PC, often through an infected
e-mail, like MyDoom.mm which is currently running wild across the
Internet, the AntiVirus program checks it against the list of all
known viruses. If your virus definitions are up to date, the
AntiVirus program identifies the invader and quickly deletes or
quarantines it.
If your virus definition list is out of date, the AntiVirus
program doesn't know it is a dangerous program, since it isn't on
the list. So it let's the program or code pass on by and it is now
inside your PC and free to attack it!
If you do not have an AntiVirus program, install one now and rid your PC
of all known viruses, worms, spyware and Trojan Horses! If you put
it off, it is just a matter of time before one of these nasty
programs gets into your PC and causes havoc!

2. Install a Firewall Program
The name 'firewall' comes from a wall used in early automobiles
that kept engine fires from reaching the passenger compartment.
A firewall on your PC does the same thing, except instead of
keeping fire out, it keeps hackers out. It also lets you know if a
hacker is testing the ports (doors) on your PC to see if he can
gain easy entry. If any are unprotected he is in, just like that!
Firewalls also let you know about unauthorized outbound messages
from your PC. If spyware has been placed on your PC without your
knowledge it can send information found on your PC to a remote web
site in an e-mail.
Special spyware programs called key loggers placed on your machine
by hackers sit in the background unnoticed and record everything
you type including passwords, credit card numbers etc. This
information can be stored locally or silently sent out by e-mail,
all without your knowledge.
If information like this is gathered from your PC by unsavory
characters, you can quickly become a victim of Identity Theft
which is a growing problem. Hackers can then use your identity for
any purpose they choose!
You can use a program like
Spyware Eliminater from
Aluria to
search out and safely remove spyware from your computer.

DON'T let hackers open up ports on your PC, which is just like having
unlocked doors to your house. Open, unprotected ports, make every
file, account number & password stored on your PC accessible to the
hacker community at large!

3. Install the latest Critical Updates for Windows
If you run Windows, you need to frequently check and download the
latest Microsoft recommended updates for your PC.
To view and install these critical updates just visit the
Microsoft web site at:
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
and have Microsoft scan your PC for latest critical updates
required for your operating system.
Download and install all recommended critical updates. Since
Microsoft's Windows operating systems are the most prevalent in
the world they are targets of choice hackers! The updates help
make your operating system itself more resistant to being
compromised by hackers.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The up
front time and cost of installing these programs is nothing
compared to what it will take you to recover your PC and possibly
your identity after it's been compromised by the destructive
programs cruising through the Internet looking for unprotected
machines to attack!
