How to safely use the Internet

I will start from experience.

Almost immediately after their companies to connect homes to the network and the first visits to the Internet, the strangeness began. First, when downloading the browser started open any sites (of course "interesting" content), then began braking.


But patience was exhausted when the night before normal finishing work on the second day when you turn around I was greeted by a message reading: "In your computer downloaded a virus and that you would not have done it will slow down your system. In order to get medication Bring $ 20 on a purse WebMoney WMZxxxxxxxx or E-Gold xxxxxxx. ». And indeed PC was working very slowly, including when running in Safe Mode.


The only solution, then for me was to reinstall the operating system by formatting drive C.


Unfortunately I did not even think to photograph the message. Because the number of purse you can go to arbitration Vebmani to WM-keeper blocked the attacker.


As you may have guessed I think, this article will focus on the fight against malware such as (but head and share it): e-mail worms, Internet worms, file viruses, Trojans, stealth viruses, polymorphic viruses, bodiless viruses, macro viruses, viruses amazing documents of MS Office, script viruses, spyware (Spyware), program-kidnappers passwords, dialer, adware (Adware), a potentially dangerous software, hacking tools, programs, hatches, joke programs, malicious scripts and the like - helluva lot of common in the network.


But something happened that had happened, because of the lack of appropriate software installed on your computer, simply did the necessary with the walking on the network. These are prog, used in conjunction antivirus + firewall (also known as a firewall).


Anti-Virus detects and protects the system from malware already running on your computer (viruses, Trojans, etc.), check the incoming mail and downloadable files. For security but a deep analysis of the system once a week should do, and periodically update the antivirus database.


Firewall also protects against outside intrusion, scanning the computer will warn about the activities of programs seeking access to the network. You'd be surprised how many of them (Wind, for example, although Refresh - Immediately turn off the automatic update system, if you are not licensed windose!). Firewall will also show all the connections currently set to a network that will block unwanted ads, banners and popapy, the activity of malicious scripts running (an elementary example is the already described way to run an undesirable site when you start the browser, which quickly begins to irritate).

I personally use an antivirus program for protection of ESET NOD32 and firewall Outpost FireWall.

In addition to these widely used are: Kaspersky Anti-Virus, DrWeb, Panda Internet Security, Norton AntiVirus; firewall Zona Alarm Security, AGAVA FireWall and many others.

There is also a mass of niche programs. Some of them are struggling just like with keyloggers or block only advertising. Others block the work of trojans gather information about your passwords to access various resources on the Internet and purse payment systems, analyzing the clipboard, and transmitting information to the host of the virus.

So these findings:

Need to attend to secure the protection of your computer (install antivirus and firewall programs - very desirable, in order to guarantee database updates, license, configure your firewall to Windows).

From time to do deep analysis of antivirus and a firewall for malicious programs.

Scan all files downloaded from the Internet for viruses (includes setting up a program-rocking).

Check also all e-mail and download files if you are not sure of their "clean", do not go to suspicious links in the letters had come as "spam".

Immediately delete suspicious if an antivirus program "says" that they are infected. Consider but one thing: Do not use simultaneously two anti-virus software - may cripple the system (they do not play well with each other).

Be sure to keep active anti-virus and firewall when you are on different warez and "interesting" sites.

Therefore, safe walks in the network.

Earnings in the network. Myth or reality?

Wow, what a cliche. Really? But how to earn on the Internet?


Course itself earnings on-line network is not a myth, but most that neither eat reality. The myth is that it is easy and fast. Really need a lot to learn, learn and work very hard - that I, sometimes, and I do ;-).


Actually, first you must choose what network to earn, and the options are many. It is important to find something that you, personally, would be interesting.


And can you do a lot. Conditionally let us divide the earnings on the Internet with a website without it.


If no site:
You can write articles and sell them on special exchanges copywriting or freelancers. And do not make big eyes saying you do not know and do not know how. You, or when something, or written statement and now works at the school. In fact, the first stage and the initial level you, as copywriter, these skills enough - find the materials, subtract and set out on his own way. The uniqueness of the text is very important. In the network, it turns out, a big shortage of original content, which is looking for web designer to populate their sites. And with the growth of you as a professional frilastera will grow and the cost of your services.

You love photography? Excellent! High-quality photos with various subjects (from simple snaps of objects, flowers and nature to art photographs) may be provided to sell. This involved photobanks orientated design market. In this case I mean microstock, in which photos are sold fairly cheap (up to 1 dollar), but many times. Course requirements for the quality photos are quite high - the total depth of field, correct color rendition, nezataskannye image, image size, correct focus, lack of noise and so on and so forth. Naturally, the highest demands - in the most popular microstock. Best, sales and product range - is: Shutterstock, Fotolia, Dreamstime. In Shutterstock requires passing the exam - You get 10 pictures to the expert. Fotolia and Dreamstime not require the exam, but requirements for photographs, not less stringent. By the way there and home photobanks. Afraid of the fact that you are not a pro Art is not worth it. Need a lot of pictures and love this business.

You can participate in polls. This is where specialized firms, mostly foreign, pay for filling out questionnaires, testing products and the like. This type of earnings rather tedious and starting, consider using someone else's experience in this matter. Here there are many questions about identifying themselves for these services, receive earnings and other nuances.

Are you an expert in any case? Super! You can find a remote work on programming, design, write reviews, create banners, flash animation, as uzkotematichesky a consultant after all. I'm not saying that everything will soon, but would first need to start looking! Actually, you can create your own product to sell online, namely the book видеоурок or a full range of training materials that, for example, how to care for cats (but there is need at least a minisite and make a study of a heap of information on professional information business) .

Forex. Was not involved, so take care. Some say that he, the FX market, there are others - not. However, some people earn on the difference of exchange rates, while others lose. A lot of lies and kidalova on the Internet related to this subject, so that in any case, I advise to read first specialized forums ( "White collar" for example).

Affiliate. This is when your referral link to go to the selling site, buy, and you get a percentage. Ideally, such a better deal with your site. But nevertheless, you have the opportunity to publish their RCB options. This is a link in the signature under your posts on the forums, direct recommendations to their friends, relevant links to your published in various services, or comments, articles, conducting thematic mailing on a free service ads on Internet message boards. Companions there are many, and different subjects - it is important to find a suitable and ... pay.

What I do not recommend doing, but what you first of all meet in the network. They are: почтовики - services in which you want to read the letter paid for a very low cost, SARAH - the system of active promotion offering viewing sites for a fee; online casinos - remember that the casinos always win; investment funds (HYIP) - this is when you invest money at interest for more than 15% a month with virtually no safeguards to live normally from 5 days to two years, magic wallets - from the series went to get a buck three, shaiw; collector bonuses - a program to collect bonuses from different services (2-3 penny) not suffer from garbage. In principle, continue to be a long time, but in any case, the Council - "First look at information on the issue, and then pay the money!"
