What is Hacking?**
Hacking is unauthorized use of computer and network resources. (The term "hacker" originally meant a very gifted programmer. In recent years though, with easier access to multiple systems, it now has negative implications.)

How does that effect me?**
Well, we're attacked either to cause damage, steal our information, use our PC as a spam machine, or for Denial Of Service (DOS) attacks on other computers. Another reason for us to be concerned is that the favorite targets of hackers are home and home office computers, connected by broadband to the Internet. This is because the connection is always open, and so there is more opportunity to locate these computers with scanners. So we need to be careful as hackers can effect us.

How can I prevent hacking?**
There are many ways when a hacker would try to scam you into receiving a file etc, so that you will take the bait and help him with the Trojan/virus installation on your hard disk drive. If you need just one way to stop being hacked, the best way is to install an all-in-one solution with anti-virus, firewall and anti-spyware solution. |
