Cyber Security’s 1st Line of Defense

Your Browser – Cyber Security’s 1st Line of Defense

 Nowadays, some people seem to have forgotten the value (and the inherent dangers) of their computer’s browser. They forgot that the browser, per se, works like a two-way street. It is where cyber security should police the two-way cyber traffic.

 A web browser’s main job is to find and display internet websites. After that, it makes possible the “communication” between your computer and the web server where a site is located.

 Cyber security risks
 But, your browser could be – and this is the dangerous part – the gateway of the cyber world into your computer. And, not all of the things from the Internet going inside your computer are good. Some are downright risky.

 Today’s browser is sophisticated enough, through the years of innovation, to handle the multiple applications needed to surf the Internet. Many of these try to boost up and heighten the surfing experience by enabling your browser’s functionalities.
 But sometimes, these functionalities are not needed and they can leave your computer vulnerable. It is therefore safe to disable them until they are needed.

 In a perfect world, one should set one’s browser security to the highest level possible. But these settings may restrict the functionality of other features and prevents some web pages to load properly. The best compromise solution would be to set your browser to the highest security level (to prevent attacks) but at the same time enabling some features to work when you need them.

 Today’s many browsers are mostly graphical browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, AOL, Opera, Safari for the Macintosh, and Lynx for the visually-impaired users.) These are capable of playing video and audio clips, aside from displaying texts and graphics. Most have user-friendly tabs and options in choosing your preferred security level setting.

 It is essential to know and be familiar with your browser and how it is different from the others. It will come in handy when you evaluate and determine the features and setting most appropriate for your use.

 For instance, to explore the basic security options in Windows’ Internet Explorer, you click Tools on the menu bar, select Internet Options, choose the Security tab, and click the Custom level. In Firefox, you click Tools first, select Options, and then click Content Privacy and Security tabs. The others have their own path systems.

 Choosing your browser

 Security should be paramount in choosing your browser. But, of course, given one’s particular needs in surfing and using the Internet, other considerations are just as important. Sometimes, a browser comes packaged with the operating system. It should not limit, however, your choice.

 Compatibility – does your browser work with the OS (operating system) of your computer?
 Ease – are you comfortable and familiar with the options, menus, system of your browser?
 Function –will it still work if other plug-ins or other devices are installed?
 Appeal – do you like how your browser looks and works?
 Functionalities - Your browser should be able to give you the option of putting web sites into different segments, or zones, and define different security restrictions for each. The best protection should be to set the security to the highest level, or maintain it at a medium level.
 If you know of some sites which can be classified as trusted, you can set your browser setting accordingly. You may require them to implement SSL or Secure Sockets Layer so you can verify if they are what they claim to be. Note, however, that it is good to avoid lowering your security levels with them. If they are attacked, you might be included.
 You may restrict particular sites you are not sure of. Prevention is always the best cure for any disease, real-life or online.

 Be careful about your Java and ActiveX controls. These scripts, used to achieve certain appearances or functionality, can be used in attacking your computer. This is also true about Plug-ins, those additional software that enhances the function of some programs. Make sure that the sites that installing them are trustworthy.

 For safety, it is advisable to disable Cookies and enable them only if the site you trust requires them.

 Cyber Security starts first in your browser. It is best that you start the safeguarding process from there, your computer’s door to the wide, wild realm of cyber space.

Tips And Tricks

Handy Tips And Tricks For Keeping Your Pc Clean

By Author: Aida Martin

If your Windows computer is functioning sluggishly, then you should try these handy tips and tricks to optimize its speed. If you do not maintain and clean the computer, then its speed and functioning get adversely affected. Even though cleaning up the PC may seem tiresome, but it is definitely a fruitful exercise. Here are a few ways to clean up your PC:


1. Clear out the trash


Now, nobody likes taking out the trash, but it is essential to maintain cleanliness. Recycle Bin and Trash is present so that users can restore the documents that they have accidentally deleted. However, with time the Recycle Bin files up and eats up a lot of space. For this reason, you need to empty the Trash frequently. Before doing so, just quickly review the items present in the Trash or Recycle Bin and restore the ones you want.


If you want, then you can change the size of your Recycle Bin. This way the Recycle Bin will empty itself at a more frequent pace as it will get filled more quickly. Just click right on the Desktop, and choose Properties from the drop-down menu. Now, quickly customize the Custom size.


2. Conduct a hard drive cleanup


One good thing about Windows is that it comes with a preloaded tool for clearing the hard drive of redundant data. Therefore, you must perform a hard disk clean up every couple of months. Open the Computer, and right-click on the hard drive. After that, click on Properties. In the Properties pop-up box, just click on the General tab and select Disk Clean-up.


The operating system will quickly scan the entire drive. After that, a list of all the sorts of files to clear will get displayed. Now, select all or some of the data you wish to remove. You can also view the files before cleaning the hard disk. Click on the OK button and confirm the action when prompted.


3. Run Disk Defragmentation


In order to optimize your computer experience, you need to defragment the files in the hard drive. Doing so will drastically boost the PC performance. Even though disk defragmentation is a process that takes a while, but you must conduct it on a regular basis. Here are the steps for defragmenting a hard drive:Open the PC and click on the Start button.Now, select Control Panel.

Navigate to System and Security.

Allow the Administrative Tools window to launch.

Now, press the Defragment your hard drive option.

Allow the Disk Defragmenter window to pop-up.

Now, you need to hit the Analyze disk option.

After that, check how much drive needs to be defragmented.

Select the Defragment disk option from the lower right corner.

Wait for the process to get over.

Finally, click on the Close button.



4. Remove and uninstall unused programs


Often, people install apps and programs and forget to delete them when they become useless. If your computer has several programs which you have not even opened for a long time, then you may try uninstalling them. Several apps have their own uninstaller and removal tools. Or else, you can remove the redundant apps from Settings. Here’s how:


Open the Settings app.

Now, click on Apps.

Select the app you wish to remove.

Press the Uninstall button.

Follow the prompts that appear on the screen.

Today’s biggest cyber security concern is Identity Theft.

Cyber Security and Identity Theft

Today’s biggest cyber security concern is Identity Theft. Cyber thieves use all kinds of methods (hacking, use of spyware for intercepting information, etc.) in stealing personal or financial information from their victims, mostly from the computers. 

The latest of these nefarious activities even sports a name: phishing (pronounced like ‘‘fishing”). The thief sends a simple e-mail that looks like it came from a genuine site (mostly from financial institutions as Citibank, eBay, PayPal, Best Buy and others), telling you there is a problem with your account. 

They would then ask you to click on a certain link in the e-mail, and you are taken to a site that looks exactly like that of your bank.  Here, they will ask you to fill out again your Social Security or credit card numbers, and/or other confidential numbers.

The following are some ways to minimize the risk of your identity being stolen:

Do business with reputable companies
Some attackers may try to trick you by creating web sites that appear to be legitimate. 
Don’t visit any site that is using third party links. Open a new browser and type the address yourself if you want to visit a site. 

You can also check privacy policies to see how the company in question use and distribute information. Many companies allow customers to request that their information not be shared with other companies.

Maintain a security mindset – always be skeptical of unfamiliar sites and links, suspicious e-mails and IM messages.

Anti-virus software and firewall
As standard practice, use and maintenance of an anti-virus software and firewall will protect your computer from attacks that may steal or modify data in your computer.
Make sure to keep your anti-virus program and firewall up to date. 

Fighting identity robbery
As precautionary steps, regularly check your credit reports for strange transactions or transactions you don’t recall, unusual charges on your bills, bills for products and services you don’t have, or worse, unexpected denial of your credit card.

Once the identity robbery has been confirmed, calls to appropriate companies and agencies have to be done immediately. Have your credit card accounts closed right away so future charges will be denied. 

Contact the Social Security Administration if your SSS card number has been accessed or the DMV if your driver’s license or car registration papers were stolen. This is to warn these agencies for possible unauthorized use of your personal ID information. Of course, you need to file a criminal report with the local police. 

For U.S. citizens, you need to contact the main credit reporting companies (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) to see if there had been any unexpected or unauthorized activity.  Have fraud alerts placed on your credit reports to prevent new accounts from being opened without verification. File a complaint with the FTC and IFCC. 


A website, IdentityTheftActionPlan.com, had been created to help citizens prevent, detect, and respond to identity theft and fraud. Within the site is information on how identity theft occurs, the latest prevention tips, what to do in case you are victimized and pertinent information of law enforcement agencies that investigate these crimes. Two other sites to learn more about phishing and ID theft are the following: consumer.gov/idtheft/ and 
idtheftcenter.org

Vigilance, information and action
Cyber security dictates that every cyber citizen (those using computers and the Internet in most of their activities) needs to be vigilant at all times.

Everyone is enjoined to keep up with the latest information, so that they can do the appropriate action by themselves. 

Teen Video Game Obsession

Dealing With Teen Video Game Obsession
Games can be addictive - But obsession is something else.

The following article is meant for parents of a teen who might be obsessed with video and/or computer games. While in some of our other articles we may sound as though we encourage obsession, we share a concern over teens who tend to shun other interests in life in favor for gaming activities to the point where they withdraw from society. We would never encourage this kind of behavior, and that's why we've taken time to describe some of the signs of game obsession and offer some advice on how to deal with it.

Recognizing the signs of teen game obsession isn't as easy as one thinks. It always starts off as first, an interest, and it then starts to grow into an addiction. The problem with identifying the beginning stages of game obsession begins with the teen. By the time our children are 15 and up, they've learned some rather impressive debating skills. So when we question their motivations for repetitive game play, they may rebut our concerns with logic and even make it a point to question our own flaws as parents. 

Since no parent ever really wants to admit a flaw, we can sometimes cave in and convince ourselves that maybe 4 hours in front of a video game isn't that bad. After all, we spend that much time at the computer, on the phone, or transmitting data back and forth between our Palms, Blackberries, and Cingular cell phones. 

Be careful not to fall prey to the logical teen. Video games can be addictive and if the time spent playing them is not carefully monitored, they'll consume everything that a teen used to care about. 

The moment you notice your teen's grades falling, homework missing, or social life starting to drop off, nip that game time in the bud. If you wait too late to restrict game time, you may experience pre-adult temper tantrums that you aren't prepared to handle correctly (cursing, breaking things, stealing, running away from home, etc.). At this point, the child is obsessed and will do anything to get his or her hands on a game controller.

Another sign of obsession is a behavioral change. A child obsessed with gaming will lose patience with things and with others, be quick to anger, and react to situations without fully thinking of the consequences. If you've paid any attention to video and/or computer games, you'll notice that they require this kind of behavior to win or to advance to a higher level. 

It's unfortunate, but a teen obsessed with this kind of violent gaming is literally being trained to react in the manner described above. That's why it's pertinent that as an adult, you restrict access to this kind of entertainment and replace it with activities that slow thinking (such as art, music, theater, etc.) and expose your child to other non-violent pleasures (swimming, dance, skating, etc.).

There are a lot of debates circulating around about the impact that video games have on today's youth and some of it might warrant paying closer attention to. As a mother or father of a teen, you will do well with your teen's desire to "get his game on" by keeping a close eye out for undesirable changes. 

++++++++++++++++++++++++

Video game addiction is described as an impulse control disorder, which does not involve use of an intoxicating drug and is very similar to pathological gambling. Video game addiction has also been referred to as video game overuse, pathological or compulsive/excessive use of computer games and/or video games.

Although it is not yet recognized by the American Medical Association as a diagnosable disorder, video game addiction is a very real problem for many people. According to the University of New Mexico, recent studies suggest that 6 to 15 percent of all gamers exhibit signs that could be characterized as addiction. Though this disorder can have significant consequences to those suffering from it, its signs and symptoms can sometimes be very difficult to recognize.

Shopping for Laptop Printers

Basic Tips On Shopping For Printers For Laptops
 by: Jacob Akshire

You can increase your laptop's functionality by getting a printer that goes with it. There are so many printers for laptops available nowadays, for sure there's a specific model out there that can meet your needs. However, the challenging part is looking for that specific unit. Worry not because below are some simple guidelines on buying one.

Going for a reliable brand is a good idea. It may not be the cheapest one around, but you know it's going to be of service for you for a long time. Besides, in case you need to purchase accessories or parts, you won't have a hard time finding them. Purchasing something that's from a cheap brand might only get broken easily.

Go for something that equals the portability of the laptop you own. Some models may have compact sizes but they may be on the heavy side. It's also possible for a large model to be light. Find a unit that's both compact and lightweight so you may lug it around hassle-free. There are models with such specifications, especially designed for people who are on the go always.

However, when picking a model that's compact, see to it that it can work on standard media sizes like letter, legal or executive. There are units out there that are limited when it comes to media sizes handled. That's why you should point out the size of documents you commonly print. For flexibility, choose a model which can also work on different media types.

Because of size discrepancies, all the ports you can find on a desktop computer may not be found on a laptop, especially a small one. For this reason, the printer you're eyeing should have a hi-speed USB 2.0 interface for easy hooking up with a laptop. Purchasing a printer that only sports a parallel port may not be a good idea at all.

A monochrome one is usually cheaper than something which can churn out both monochrome and color prints. Point out what your everyday printing needs are to be able to decide which of them to pick. It's also important to consider the resolution. This is measured in terms of dpi (dots per inch). If what you need to print are documents containing plain text, something that has a 600 x 600 dpi resolution is okay. A higher resolution is better for printing graphics.

The ppm, or short for pages per minute, will show you how fast the unit works. By and large, a printer is capable of producing more pages a minute when doing black-and-white tasks. You should also check out of the first-page-out time on the specifications list. This indicates how long will it take for the document to be printed from the time the data is transmitted to the printer.

Take a look as several different printers for laptops available out there. Go online and compare their features and prices. Read review by experts or drop by forum sites where the model you're considering to buy is being talked about.

Learning How To Program In No Time

Learning How To Program In No Time

By Mikhail Gordon
Are you considering learning how to program? Maybe you've seen a movie that has spurred your interest. Or perhaps you have come to the inevitable realization that programming fundamentals are extremely useful in almost any occupation, be it technology or other. Through an internet search you'll find a plethora of information and resources that promise you competent programming skills. I personally prefer reading hard copy books to get my information. Here are some things that you should keep in mind when searching for some good programming books.

• Author's Experience: Does the author of the book have sufficient experience in the programming languages that you want to explore? There is no use reading a programming book from a C+ guru if you want to learn Java. Sure, some of the basics are the same but ideally, you want an author that can relate to the language you want to learn.
• One-Language Book: This tip goes hand-in-hand with the tip above. You want a good programming book that focuses on one language. Take a look at the book's table of contents to make sure that they match up with what you want to learn.
• Publishing Date: While many of the basics of programming have remained the same, technology has definitely evolved. Ideally, the programming book that you find will have been published within the last couple of years. If you do pick up an older edition be sure to keep in mind that much about programming has changed in recent years.
• Price: A chief concern with any purchase, and buying a programming book is no different. Fact is that there are tons of free resources on the internet that could teach you the basics, and although I love a hard cover, I'm not paying an unreasonable price for any book. You'd be better off trying a used book store or searching Amazon for a discount price.
• Beginner Friendly: Grab a book that is actually intended for beginners. It will usually tell you, right on the cover, if it is. As much as everyone wants to be the next Mark Zuckerberg some of us just aren't on that level yet. Take baby steps and I'm sure that you'll be programming masterpieces in no time.

If you keep these things in mind you'll be all set and on your way to programming mastery. You might want to check out some good book reviews as well to see if people actually learned from the books you're thinking about buying.

Knowing an IP Location

The Importance of Knowing an IP Location

By: Mike Morgan


There are many occasions when it is helpful for Web masters to identify where their visitors are coming from. This is useful for people running e-commerce websites. They need to know where their potential customers are located. If they are in another country then that country’s language can be used for their website. It is not possible for ordinary website owners to know the exact location of a website. But given the IP location they can know the general region that the person is from. Knowing the IP address is also useful for tracking down hackers and spammers.

IP addresses are assigned not based so much on the physical location of the person as much as where he gets his internet connectivity from. The IP address assigned to one home might be very different from that assigned to his neighbor if they use different service providers. If someone wants the exact location of an IP address then it is only the Internet service provider that can give this information. However, most internet service providers have strict privacy policies that prevent them from disclosing this information. But there is some software available online that can provide the location of an IP address.

Every computer has what is known as an IP location. Each computer is assigned a different number that effectively becomes its own unique address. Many users want to know what their IP address is. They can easily find this information by doing an IP lookup. They can simply enter the query in any search engine. The answer will give the user his IP geo-location information. Every IP address has four sets of numbers that are separated by a period. These addresses are used by Internet service providers to find the location of a computer anywhere in the world.

Initially many Internet service providers gave static IP addresses to the computers. But over the years the number of people using computers has kept on increasing. It has now become necessary to assign more dynamic IP addresses to computers. These addresses are issued from a pool and limit the ability of users to host FTP servers, websites and mail servers. This also helps users who want to connect to the Internet through virtual hosting. Dynamic IP addresses allow for multiple addresses to be used at one time. The best example of this method is the wireless Internet in a home, which allows the personal computer, tablet and cell phone to be used at the same time to surf the Internet.

Knowing the IP location is very beneficial for a user. It enables him to access various forums on the Internet. It also helps him with speed checks, e-mail tracing and proxy detection. Having this information also helps the user with greater safety in all his online activities. The IP location is a lot like the mailing address of a home or an office. Just like these unique addresses identify a home or an office anywhere in the real world IP addresses perform the same function in the virtual world.

Pinpointing an IP Location

By: Mike Morgan

Many people want to know how they can change their IP address. This is because the issue of privacy and internet fraud has become major issues these days. There are many hackers and spammers on the internet who are keen on causing as much mischief to the accounts of other users as possible. Many people use a proxy server to protect their IP location. A proxy server is a website that is specifically created to protect a unique Internet protocol address. It is an indirect way of accessing various websites to surf anonymously. There are also many good software available in the market that can help protect the confidentiality of users.

Conversely it is also important for some agencies to identify the IP addresses of other users. There are many hackers and trouble makers who need to be caught and stopped. Knowing what computer they are using and from where can be a guide to pinpointing their location. This can help the law enforcement agencies track down such people and stop their nefarious activities. Taking the help of internet service providers who control the address is also necessary for identifying the exact location of an IP address.

Secure PDF Files

Knowing How To Properly Secure PDF Files 

by Achilles Marshal

If you are an avid computer user, or you are a technologically savvy person who enjoys reading and surfing the web, then chances are you either use or come into digital contact with PDF files. While PDF files are incredibly easy to open and use, it can be difficult to know if the PDF files which you are using are secure PDF files, or if they pose a potential risk or threat to your computer's safety and security.
 In order to properly prepare your computer in the event that you accidentally come into contact with a dangerous or hazardous PDF file, it is important to take the proper preventative steps to ensure that a harmful PDF does not do any serious damage to your computer's hard drive. When you use only secured PDF files, you can avoid many computer problems.

 The first step one should take in order to ensure that you have secure PDF files on your computer is to password protect all of your PDF files. This will guarantee that, regardless of how you use those files, any malicious external parties who get their hands on the files will not be able to open them or access them. Password protecting files is the first step which should be taken towards better PC protection and security. It is also important to keep a thorough retainer on all passwords used to protect files – don't accidentally lock yourself out of a file because you forgot the password! If this occurs, you may never be able to open that PDF again.

 The second step one should take in order to ensure that you have secure PDF files is to never open PDF files which are downloaded directly from an unknown or unfamiliar website. PDF files downloaded from malicious websites could directly attack your hard drive and personal files, wreaking irreversible damage on your computer and forcing you to either restore your hard drive or buy a new computer altogether. If you need to download PDF files from the internet, be sure that you are receiving them through a reputable and well-known website which will not provide you with harmful or hazardous files. Also, be sure to run a file scan on PDFs which you download online, regardless of which website you receive them from. Even if you download PDFs through a reputable site, the PDFs themselves may have been compromised prior to being uploaded by the website, or they may have been corrupted while on the website's server.

 Following these simple tips for success will allow you to avoid downloading harmful PDF files and ensure that your PDF files remain as well-protected and secure as possible. Be sure to run system diagnostics and other preventative security measures as frequently as possible in order to minimize the possibility of data loss and corruption. With your secured PDF, you'll be able to feel confident you have the security and privacy you need with your private information.
