Written by Robert J Farey


P C. owners are constantly at risk from attacks by hackers. Spy ware, viruses, trogan horses, and all sorts of other malevolent programs are all trying to take control of your computer.

What can we do about it? How can we be sure that we are properly protected against them?

A hacker will generally not be interested in doing damage to your PC. His main interest is in gaining control of your computer so that he can use it to send out hundreds of thousands of e-mails in your name withrepparttar intention of crashing your mail server.

This can get you into very serious trouble withrepparttar 108705 server. This is something that you do not want. How are you going to prove that you were not to blame?

How dorepparttar 108706 hackers do it? What tools do they use?

A port scanner. What is a port scanner? A port scanner can locate PCs that are on line and check for an open port. A hacker using a program such as ‘Super Scan’ can find an open port to gain entrance to your computer. Once in, he can use your computer as if it were his own. The only difference is that to all intents and purposes it is you that is causing all ofrepparttar 108707 trouble.

The main port thatrepparttar 108708 hacker is interested in is port 80. This isrepparttar 108709 one that you use to log on torepparttar 108710 internet.

I am not going to confuse you with allrepparttar 108711 various programs that are designed to show you what ports are open at any particular time. What you need to know is how to protect your computer against these attacks.

The New Business Model

In this new era of information, business promoterepparttar new (now) standardized and stereotyped model of repparttar 108704 cyber "door-to-door" salesman, armed with lap top, cell phone, palm pilot; ready day and night for a next good war againstrepparttar 108705 next competitor's web page displayed on his LCD or CRT. In this new world of  "brief cased guinea pigs" totally "overloaded" byrepparttar 108706 quantity of digital information, where technology isrepparttar 108707 weapon againstrepparttar 108708 neighbor,repparttar 108709 good old "dollar buck" isrepparttar 108710 only reward; rewarded and quantified torepparttar 108711 best "optimized", "suited and tied" digital business slave.

Where on this dynamic two dimensional world that isrepparttar 108712 modern computer world of today, a "promising" small business can go withoutrepparttar 108713 factor x? Without a website, who are you? Without a website how you can sell your products? Many solutions exists out there, inrepparttar 108714 so called "the free world", but which one is reliable, which one is really there to help your situation? Which one really think of you as a business in this kind of situation?

I personally try them all, I was also even atrepparttar 108715 point to register torepparttar 108716 "seems to be miraculous" five letters starting with a "Y"; merchant solution then... Wait, stop, backup, what about one solution that provide me everything that I need: Web hosting, Merchant Tools, Catalog Manager, Order Management System, Business Email, DNS Hosting, Database Service, Ftp Account and place that can index my website andrepparttar 108717 products it contains, for free...? is it possible? Is itrepparttar 108718 "new business model" that I am looking for? Or I still need to struggle againstrepparttar 108719 stereotyped description as above during weeks and a lot of PDF printed forms? to get...whatever?
