Protection while working on Internet

As many of users already know, services provided on Internet, can be easily misused. People who have adequate knowledge may use their Internet connection to achieve different goals, e.g. steeling of different information. So called hackers attacks on home users of Internet, originate mostly from adolescents who are eager to get to others user name and code, in order to be able to use Internet free of charge (by spending others Internet subscription), and often, they are doing this just for fun or to show off. More serious "hackers" are dealing with more serious things. From this we can conclude that every computer needs some kind of protection during the work on Internet. You surely do not want someone to steel your code for access to Internet and use up the time you have subscribed for, and also nobody wants someone to steel his important documents from his computer. First thing you should do to protect yourself is to procure and install a reliable antivirus program. This program should protect your computer against viruses and “Trojans”, programs made to work hidden from users which can make damage to you in many ways. Viruses are easily communicated through e-mail messages and also through exchange of files with other persons through Internet. These programs can delete important data from your hard disc, or disclose your access code to Internet to a hacker, or make it possible to someone to take the complete control over your computer. After you install an antivirus program, it is necessary to maintain it by periodical refreshment of its basis with description of viruses, or else your antivirus program will become unreliable. Neobee.net recommends you to install one of the two antivirus programs:

• Kaspersky Antivirus
• Avast AV
• Bit Defender
• F-Secure Anti-Virus
• AVG

The next important thing for protection is to check how web options are set on you computer. You can check it in Control Panel, by starting the section networks. For access to Internet it is necessary and sufficient to have installed Dial-Up Adapter and TCP/IP protocol. Components MicrosoftNetworks and File and Printer Sharing can unnecessarily disclose files from your computer to hackers. Namely, these network components of Windows in computer networks (e.g. within a company), make it possible for users of that network to have jointly access to files on other computers in the network. Of course, this is necessary due to efficient work in the network, however to home users it can unnecessarily disclose files from their computers to hackers. So, if you do not have a reason to share files in the network, then you should delete components Microsoft networks and File and Printer Sharing. Users of computer networks who need to share files in their network, and at the same time are connecting to Internet, must be very careful. They should strongly care which files they are leaving visible to other users of network. In this case the installation of a program for protection of the computer against network attacks can be of great help. Such programs are called Firewalls. For stronger protection of your computer on Internet, you should install on of the programs called Firewalls. These programs are active during your work on Internet, monitoring the data flow through your computer, and in case they detect a possible unauthorized access to your computer, they stop the attempt and inform you about it.
