How to Protect Your Computer and Internet Connection

In the age of the Internet, protecting your computer requires more offensive behaviour to ensure that your information is safe. Internet users must protect their computer from viruses, spyware, random crashes and numerous other occurrences. There are some safety measures that all computer owners should take to ensure their computer’s safety.

Protect against Viruses

Most people have invested in a virus scanner for their computer. Some scanners require a nominal fee and others are free. High Speed Internet often offer a free download or access to a virus scanner to protect the computer from Trojans, worms or other infections on the computer.

For the software to work, users must update the software as often as the company sends updates. As new viruses are discovered, the software company will send updates to block new viruses. Obtain virus blocking software to protect from programs that will delete files or make your computer run slowly.

Try Spyware Protection

Spyware is a malicious piece of code that will record every website visited, passwords and key strokes on the computer. People that plant spyware on your computer may use the information to engage in criminal activity or to block your interaction with other people. In some instances, the information is sold to companies for marketing purposes or to give criminals access to your online bank account. This invasion of privacy may cause the computer to run slowly.

Always Use a Firewall

Firewall use is important when using a computer in public places. This may also be important when using the wireless Internet at home. The firewall may act like a wall between your computer and other computers on the same Internet connection. The firewall will prevent any unwanted information transfer from one computer to the next.

Firewalls protect our information from hackers. If you use wireless Internet in public locations, you will often see that the firewall is disabled. If this happens, enable the firewall for it to be effective. If the Internet will not work with the firewall being enabled, then either use with caution or recognize that the business may be lifting your information for their selfish gain.

Some operating systems, such as Windows XP, have their own built-in firewall. Free firewall software is also available on the Internet. Try websites, such as http://www.zonelabs.com or http://smb.sygate.com/, for free access to firewall software.

I Have All Three, Am I Safe Now?

The short answer is, “No.” Anti-virus protection, spyware protection and firewall software will only protect against known viruses and spyware. If the hacker is smart enough to develop a virus, Trojan or worm that will infiltrate the current system, then he or she may be able to penetrate the current code and compromise your computer. Users should remain vigilant with updates to prevent attacks.

Users may take preventative actions to avoid being preyed upon by hackers. For instance, do not open any attachments from any sources that are not trusted or known by you personally. A hacker could activate a Trojan to lift information from your computer if he or she convinces you, the recipient, to activate the code through a link, download or button.

The actual download may be transparent to the user, until the computer begins to run slowly. Then, the user may suspect that someone has compromised their information and seek help. Hopefully, the damage will be repairable.

Often, the source of the attacks is not traceable, because the hacker is smart enough to route the attack through numerous servers before actually arriving at the intended source. Hackers, therefore, are difficult to prosecute. Remain vigilant to avoid hackers.

Runner maps 21km Google+ logo on the streets of Tokyo

Google+ has received pretty warm reviews from its early band of users, but one fan in particular has taken his appreciation of the social networking platform to a whole new level.

British-born Tokyo resident Joseph Tame has run a half-marathon along a route that he mapped out to resemble the Google+ logo:

Using a combination of RunKeeper to track the run on one iPhone and Google Earth on a second iPhone to see which way to go next, Tame ran over 21km around the streets of Tokyo. Tame said:

“Planning the route with Google Maps beforehand took about 90 minutes – it was tricky to get everything in proportion given the road layout. Unfortunately I accidentally picked up an iPhone 3G instead of a 3GS (for his second iPhone) – it was sooooo slow, and in fact in the end the GPS packed up altogether (possibly due to the fact that it was connected to a mobile router that has a habit of getting its coordinates in a twist).”

It seems that Joseph Tame has a history of merging his love of running with his addiction to gadgetry. In February he completed the Tokyo Marathon with four iPhones, an iPad, Android phone and a heart rate monitor strapped to him, and streamed it all live on the Web.


Microsoft comes up with a new social site?


It seems to me like Microsoft is planning for a launch of new social networking site in partnership with Facebook and Twitter. Here is the first glimpse of the socl.com homepage that got revealed by mistake. The site was originally owned and operated by Microsoft.


But once it was out in news, Microsoft immediately hid the page saying "Socl.com is just an internal design project from a team in Microsoft Research which was mistakenly published to the web and they did not mean to create it honestly."

So what your take on this? Do you really think socl.com is just an internal design project or is Microsoft really planning to start a new social networking site?

The $250 Case That Turns Your iPad into a Laptop (Almost)

This new case gets your iPad as close to a laptop as you can hope for--but you'll also be paying laptop-like prices.


There are several iPad keyboard accessories that add more functionality to the tablet, but none have been really able to turn it into a laptop--until now. The Crux Loaded clamshell case, which will be available in the fall, adds a keyboard, trackpad, and an external battery into the base for a laptop-like experience. Considering the $249 price and the cost of the iPad to begin with, you're also paying laptop-like prices.

The Crux product website says this case is the first iPad case to feature a remote-Bluetooth trackpad and additional external battery. The extra battery should give you 7.5 more hours of usage.

With the remote trackpad, you may also be able to control your computer using the iPad--view your computer's desktop and use any of its programs remotely. Bringing your home desktop (or a real laptop) to your iPad screen could make your iPad much more functional. You'll need a $30 remote desktop app to do that, however.

Other wireless keyboard cases for the iPad, such as the ZAGG Zaggmate, cost around $100--so for an additional $150 you're getting more battery life and the trackpad (which you probably don't need for iPad use alone--it does have a touchscreen). Tack on another $30 and you've got your own expensive iPad-laptop transformer.

Cheap I Phone to launch in 6-18 Months Analyst

Apple will enter the mid-range phone market in the next year and a half, a market analyst predicts, as it looks to head off the challenge from keenly priced Android smartphones.
According to Peter Misek of Jeffries, checks his company have conducted “increasingly point to a launch [of a low-cost iPhone] within the next 6-18 months”.
Misek claims that the handset, which tech types have provisionally dubbed the iPhone Nano, could sell for as little as $300 (not much shy of £200 ) while still allowing Apple to maintain a respectable profit margin.
iphone nano 2
Rumours that Apple would shed its ‘premium product at a premium price’ policy in favour of a more inclusive, mass market approach to smartphones have been rife for years.
However, they have gained fresh momentum in recent months, as Android has usurped Apple’s iOS operating system as the world’s largest smartphone platform as measured by shipments in the last quarter.
The unofficial ‘Nano’ sobriquet stems principally from the fact that the cheaper phone is expected to be a more compact bit of kit than earlier iPhone iterations. To keep costs down, Apple is rumoured to be planning to recycle components from earlier iPhones.

iPhone 5 Concept

iPhone 5 is started thinking the people day by day for some reason of iPhone 4.In this post i’m presenting a couple of iPhone 5 designs.


The first one shows the next-gen iPhone 5 as a very thin device, a lot thinner than the current iPod touch 4G.Apple will probably take more than a years to launch such a device.When it will launch it will be magical to everybody.

5 design shows an iPhone 4-like design and the outer antenna is still there. What’s interesting about it are the apps, which are totally new, and they’d definitely convince you to buy the phone. And here’s what regular apps will be able to do on this iPhone 5, as there will be an app that:
* Attracts UFOs
* Ex-foliation
* Spins straw into gold
* Enables time travel
* Makes you invisible
* Pie on demand

* Predicts future, changes past
* Controls weather & stock market

* Gives flu to your ex
* Cures flu
* Repairs appliances
* Cosmetic surgery
* Cleans teeth
* Does your taxes & your hair
* 3D video camera
* Plays 3D movies
* Washes your cat

So, there’s an app for everything in the iPhone 5.It’s now time for wait and wait.
