HACKING, VIRUSES AND OTHER INTERNET ISSUES
VIRUS
A Virus is a software that attaches itself to a program which help spread it from one computer to another, leaving infections as it travels. Some of these infections may cause only midly annoying effects while others can damage your hardware software.
Spyware is an example of a virus that violates your privacy on your computer. Spyware takes up memory and other resources on your PC, this may adversely affect your network or internet connection. This can also lead to a noticeable slowdown in your PC's performance and cause disconnections from the internet.
The anti-virus software that i use is called WEBROOT, i update my anti-virus program every year.
For more information you could visit the following link.
http://www.webroot.com/En_US/index.html
FIREWALL
A firewall is simply a program or hardware device that filters the information coming through the Internet connection into your computer system. If an incoming packet of information is flagged by the filters, it is not allowed through. The firewall can implement security rules that you could set to help prevent people hacking into your computer.
The fiewall program that i use is called McAfee® Internet Security which provides immediate protection against malicious threats to my PC. This software is very effective because A new threat can be analyzed and blocked in milliseconds, rather than waiting hours for traditional techniques. Active Protection is the best technology to keep you safe from emerging online threats.

INTERNET
How do you use the internet?
The way i use the internet is just to research and be up to date with what is happening around the world , by logging onto facebook it is giving me a chance to keep in touch with family and friends. To share what is on my mind and having a chance by meeting new interesting people around the world. I enjoy having the access to view new video clips, this gives me a chance to be listen and explore the latest music that is out.
How the internet works?
The way the internet works is basically you first connect to the interest by entering your phone number, user name and password your dialing up onto the network. From there your modern sends the signals from your computer to signals that travel over a wire line then leads it to a internet service provider. Your internet provider gives you access to the internet.
To have access to a website you first enter its address, the browser and web server will communicate by using Hypertext transfer Protocol. the WWW. indicates a resource on the world wide web. after that when you type in the address this identifies which computer hosts the site this is called a domain. then the browsers sends the request to the web server on the internet and it locates the files then downloads it to your computer, so your web browser displays the page on your computer screen.
By creating an e-mail program you could have the access to interact with family and friends, by sending messages. the way this works is the message gets sent to your Internet service provider's mail server, by examining the address the message travels over the interest to the mail server of the recipients internet service provider, where it is held in a mailbox. by loging onto your account and clicking onto your inbox, the computer displays the message onto your computer where you then have a chance to read through it.
Spiders is a software what engines use to comb the internet looking for documents and their web addresses, these are collected and sent to the search engines indexing software to help extract information from the documents, storing it in a database. the database is searched for documents that match, then the engines assemble a web page that lists the result as hypertext.
A newsgroups and forums is use to post messages, reply a message or just read messages.when the message is sent the news server posts it for everyone to read. everyone could read and respond to your message.
The way streaming media works is when you click on a link to a media clip, your web browser requests the clip from a media server on the internet.
