Google the words "internet security" and you will get about 134 million web links. The words "anti virus" will fetch about another 283 million hits. well what i am trying to say is, computer security is a BIG, MASSIVE business. This pie will only get bigger as more and more people get connected onto the information highway.


get the picture!

The internet has almost anything that you can think of and of course, people will ill intent will try to exploit this wonder invention. Here are some of the known risks involved whenever u get connected onto the internet or plug some thumbdrive, disc, diskette(old skool) into your computer:

• virus
• worms
• trojan
• spamware
• spyware
• malware
  
• phishing

Most of these can be prevented with a good computer security suites and with a little extra care, you can probably have a problem free hardware. if you do your research on security softwares out there, you might find that those off the shelf names that we are familiar with, arent exactly the best. Well, frankly, even if you search for those "respectable" names in computer security on torrent tracking sites. It too, will make you wonder just how secure can your computer be because if the brand new top of the line software that were supposed to protect your system can be hack, really just what is preventing someone from taking over your system.

Maybe it wouldnt be too far away from the threat of cyber-terrorism to be real.


This the trailer of the movie "eagle eye", a preview to how cyber-terrorism can happen.
