Internet is the best place for both good and bad. If you use internet to good things internet will become a place like heaven. But unfortunately some people don’t mind this. They bothering to users of internet by spamming, hacking and sending viruses. This guide will help you to surfing securely in the internet while using it to good.

What are spams and how to protect from spams?

Spams sending unwanted links to your E-mail. These spams contain various bad things such as link to porn sites, adult contented sites etc. The spammers find your E-mail address from your subscription when you have done when downloading a file by searching on internet. Then sometimes they give you a the file you want to download and sometimes not. But the bad thing is they spam your inbox by sending unwated E-mails. The best thing you can do to avoid from these spams is subscribe your E-mail only to trusted sites only. (But don’t afraid to subscribe on my site. I don’t spam your inbox)



Hacking and prevent from hacking

Hacking is the most dangerous thing on internet. When you providing your information to a untrusted or unknown site some times it can be a Hacker’s site. If it is a hacking site they install a small application software to your computer. Then hackers can see what you doing from your computer from their computer. Then they can catch all of your usernames, passwords of your online accounts such as E-mail, Paypal, Facebook, Twitter etc. See, How dangerous is this? Last year there was a hacking site known as www.tvvitter.com not www.twitter.com. When users search for twitter the first result is the site I mentioned first. It is full clone of original twitter. Then users go and enter there Username and password. Then the hackers copy down them and said users that Username or password is incorrect. Then then user click on Retry button the hacking site automatically redirecting to the original twitter. Then from the Username and Password hackers copied down, they hack the twitter account of user. To prevent from these hackers,

1. Double check that it is the correct site you want when you visit a site.
2. Do not provide your Username or E-mail to sites when you want to download a file or not go to pay any amount to these download a file except the Original author’s site.
3. Don’t subscribe your E-mail to any unknown site.
4. Install a good Internet Security if you using internet a lot.

(according to my opinion the Kaspersky is the best Internet Security for prevent from hackers because it is made by a person who trained to be a hacker.) Prevent from Viruses

In most instances these viruses came attached to .doc, .pdf, .xls etc files or with .zip, .rar files. To prevent from these viruses install a good antivirus and update it at least weekly (If you using a Internet Security you don’t need to use another antivirus)
