[description], Story, any other text you want to use. Dirty Little Computer Viruses and How To Protect Yourself by: Dan Preston
Whether you have learned your lesson from a past experience with a nasty computer virus or have been pressing your luck by surfing the web and downloading various files or opening those email messages sent to you by people you don't know without any real understanding of just how vulnerable you really are each time you log onto your computer you now have the opportunity to discover what steps you can take to avoid such an annoying and many times destructive infestation. Listed below are some of the guidelines you can follow in order to keep those nasty viruses from making a mess out of your computer and your life. Purchase and install a well respected antivirus software program and be sure to set it up so that it automatically runs when the computer starts up each time. Make sure to keep your antivirus software up to date by either using the automatic update feature that many come with or make it a habit to manually check at least once or twice a week for updates on your own. Set your antivirus program to scan for potential viruses each time you open a word-processing document like the ones that get sent through email. Viruses found in word-processing documents are called Macro Viruses. When purchasing software make sure to only buy from vendors that are well known and from ones you trust. Resist swapping data with the use of floppy disks or other mobile storage devices between various computers. If exchanging programs between computers is unavoidable just make sure to scan the storage device(s) for viruses before transferring data from one computer to the next. If using floppy disks to transfer data make sure to format them before using them for the first time. Never use pirated software. This is both illegal and a very good way to invite an unwanted computer virus. When downloading software from the internet do so as little as possible. There are many neat programs available on the internet, but unfortunately there are many viruses that go along with them also. If you must download programs from the internet ALWAYS scan them for viruses BEFORE opening them up to install on your computer. Probably the most important and neglected method of disaster recovery are periodic backups of all important files found on your computer. Should a virus happen to get through your lines of defense you may need to replace the virus corrupted files with fresh ones that have been kept for such an occasion. Finally, it is not guaranteed that if you follow the above steps that you will not be the victim of a computer virus,but you can sure bet that if followed you will greatly reduce the chance of being an unsuspecting recipient of such an unwanted program.
corporate streaming video
Netscape Corporation has created the best known secure server technologies. It uses a security protocol called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) that provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. When a client seeking to purchase corporate streaming video connects with a secure server, they exchange a *handshake* which initiates a secure session. With this protocol, the same server system can run both secure and unsecured web servers simultaneously. This means an corporate streaming video organization or company can provide some information to all users using no security, and other information that is secured. For example, a business that sells corporate streaming video online can have its storefront (merchandise catalog) unsecured, but ordering and payment forms can be secure. Why are these developments important? As the Internet becomes a way to buy and sell corporate streaming video products and services, financial transactions become essential. Right now, most corporate streaming video transactions involve the exchange of credit card information, either directly over the network, or by phone, to complete a transaction initiated online. Eventually, you will be able to use cash as well as credit, directly over the network. There are two basic kinds of digital cash, anonymous cash and identified cash. Anonymous cash is just like paying for corporate streaming video with paper cash but it also carries no information about the person making the transaction, and leaves no transaction trail. You create it by using numbered bank accounts and blind signatures. Identified cash, on the other hand, contains information revealing the identity of the person who withdrew it from the bank. Like credit card transactions, identified cash can be tracked as it moves through the system and involves fully identified accounts and non-blind signatures. Whether you use digital cash when purchasing corporate streaming video is entirely up to you. We suggest you employ the purchasing avenues available from the corporate streaming video supplier we recommend. Real Time Media On The Net Index
