Weekend Computer Security Blog

I want to wish everyone a wonderful weekend and I hope that if you use your computer that you have a safe experience. I am going to be watching some new movies on my computer and listening to some awesome music. I can’t wait for the weekend to get started as I have worked very hard this week and love spending time with my magnificent computer on the weekends.

I know that this may sound completely nerdy but I enjoy reading articles on the weekend as part of my relaxation. These articles are usually online articles and are either computer related or computer security related. I also like trying to see the new viruses and malware that have come out. I am still really confused as which one is which but I am learning.

I hope that if you use your computer this weekend, that you do so safely. I also really hope that you keep your antivirus up to date and that your computer is properly secured. It is seriously not worth taking any chances with computer security in this day and age. Trust me I speak from experience. Have a computer safe weekend everyone!

Antivirus System Pro is hard to detect and remove!

Hello guys and once again I have some exciting but disturbing news for you. One of my friends last night gave me a call and told me that I needed to come over quickly to see what was happening to his computer. I don’t know why he phoned me, but I think it may be due to the factor that my friends know I am always up for seeing new stuff that has anything to do with computers or computer security.

Okay so antivirus system pro is actually a rogue antispyware application. But it took us a few hours to actually find that out and we learnt it all the hard way. My friend got a fake system scan that generated fake system scan results. The thing is that at the time he didn’t know it was fake and just started panicking. He then was offered the full version for a set fee which he actually paid. He lost his money and his computer problems were still therein fact his entire computer started malfunctioning completely.

I went to bed very late last night as I stayed with my friend into funny hours of the night doing research and trying to figure out what was going on. Antivirus System Pro Removal Guide gave us a simple and decent explanation of what Antivirus System Pro actually is all about. This honestly was a nightmare and my friends computer was actually also connecting to the internet by itself, which was totally freaking us both out.

From this experience I learn that Antivirus System Pro needs to actually be removed by a decent antispyware application. We learned the hard way that the only money you should pay when it comes to Antivirus System Pro is buying a decent antispyware tool that will detect and automatically remove it Antivirus System Pro for you. The full version is one big lie and should never be bought ever.

The computer nightmare last night started out badly for my friend and we were both scared. I had never seen a computer do all these things before and these computer security notifications looked very real it was ridiculous. I am so angry that people can do this but I want to warn everybody who is reading this to not be fooled by the horrible Antivirus System Pro. Until next time I hope that you are luckier than my friend was, as I seriously don’t wish the symptoms of Antivirus System Pro upon my worst enemy.

The day my computer got infected!

I seem to always either be worried about computer security problems or have some sort of computer security problems. I am not sure what actually happened as it was very frightening and all I wanted to do was get it off my computer immediately. Basically what happened was my internet connection just became more and more faulty as time progressed. Eventually I called in a friend of mine who is excellent in I.T to help me. He told me that my internet connection was being used by other people every time that I connected to the internet.

There were many other strange things which were taking place that really started freaking me out. The worst thing that happened was every time I tried to download any thing computer security related; my computer would immediately block the site. This means that literally any antivirus site or anything related to a computer security product of any kind, just wouldn’t work. It was the scariest thing ever to see. I had to actually get a cd with some stuff on and put that on my computer.

The solution to my problem was a long one, after debating with many people and trying to understand the best way to proceed from the situation. I finally got a cd which people put lots of programs on for me, I tried them all. I changed my antivirus and I changed some of my windows xp system settings for my Windows updates to automatically update itself. Some of my files were corrupt from whatever it was that was on my system so I had to re install parts of Windows. It was all one big mission but what I learnt from this is that it really is important to have a decent antivirus which is up to date running on your system.Oh yes and what really helped me was I got myself an awesome antispyware removal tool which does a system scan of my computer, detects any threats which I have running on it and gives me the option of having it automatically deleted for me. I did that and it worked like a charm! The combination of all those things seemed to have saved my computer. This is a true story and I really don’t wish these computer problems upon my worst enemy.

 

Computer Blogging

I am here again, to talk to you about my feelings this time. Okay so I am not a wimp, my feelings are about computers. My feelings about computers are very real to me as my computer is the one thing in the world that I own that I seriously couldn’t live without. I don’t know what I would do if anything happened to my computer as I think I would probably just want to die and end it all. I seriously have worked too hard on that computer and yes if you are wondering I do back up my data but still, there are some things on it which I can’t lose.

I have everything on my computer; my entire world is on there. Yes I know it is a virtual but it is still my world and I love it regardless. I use my computer for everything that I do for entertainment, which includes: watching movies, listening to music, playing games, chatting to friends and much more.

If anything happened to my computer I would seriously go mad. I do what I can to try and keep my computer safe. That means that I use a decent antispyware removal product which is up to date. I also use a decent antivirus which detects a threat immediately and gives me the option of deleting it. I also have a fairly decent firewall running on my machine. This is just some of the many precautions which I try and take in order to make sure my computer is safe.

Computer Security Chatting

I wonder what chatting devices people can hack into?. I have heard that malicious online attackers are actually able to hack into every single chatting device that there is. So basically no matter what I.M you are using, you are never safe as someone can get in and gain access of your computer. Even worse than this is the factor that if you are making use of an instant messenger application, you are running high risks of malicious online attackers being able to actually capture your conversations, as well as use the information to their advantage.

I don’t know what to think anymore as on one the one hand I seriously love chatting and being in contact with people via instant messenger applications, but on the other hand the question that you need to ask yourself is: Is it worth it? Just because it hasn’t happened to you yet, dosen’t mean that it won’t happen to you and this is a very important lesson that you need to acknowledge when it comes to the mind boggling field of computer security.

Computer security is a strange field and I do get paranoid talking on instant messenger applications, but the truth of the matter is that I actually can’t live without them. I am a computer nerd who is proud to be one.

Computer Security Madness

The madness of computer security is stopping me from feeling safe online. I am paranoid every time that I do any form of internet banking. I am so scared that I may become a victim of a cybercrime at some point during my life. I think that people may not be that scared because the computer acts as a buffer between cybercriminals and victims. The truth is just because they aren’t a physical threat doesn’t mean that they can’t ruin your life.

I think in the future people may have to seek therapy for computer fears. I wonder if it will become a fear, like some people have of driving. I wonder if people over secure their computers for free of people getting in. Is that even an option? I mean like if you had to for instance use every form of computer security possible and maybe combine them all, I wonder if that would help.

It is strange because in some way I actually believe that people should be more afraid of what they can’t see than what they can. Every time when you are online there are people all over the entire world who you can’t see who can get into your computer. Some of these people are just as evil as all the bad people that you hear about on the news every evening.

Well there you have it guys, my thoughts for the day. Inside the inner workings of my mind, I actually think about computer security often and wonder about it. There is so much to learn and understand, that the more I know the more I realize there is so much that I don’t know! If you are reading this, where ever you are in the world, I hope that you have a good day.

Random Operating System Banter

Hi everyone how are you today? I am here to ask you what your thoughts are which version of Windows to use? It is strange because some of my friends are using Windows 98 still and others are completely over Windows all together and are using Apple Macs with the new Snow Leopard operating system.

I am not sure what route to go but I am considering loading Windows 7 onto my machine as I think its looks fantastic. I am still very much a big Windows fan and consider it to be one of the best operating systems in the world. The new Windows 7 seems to be working well for my friends who are making use of it as they seem to really be appreciating the new Windows 7.

Some people are still using Windows XP.In fact I know lots of my friends are actually still using Windows XP right now as I write this. I think that at the end of the day it is up to the individual which operating system they wish to use. It is also up to the individual if they want to stick with Windows or now!

 

Computer Security Random Writing

Hi I wonder what the latest view on computer security is. Do you think people feel safe browsing the Internet and doing day to day activities? I am really curious to the answer to this question. I know that some people seem to be very paranoid lately with regard to Internet banking and buying things on the internet. I can’t afford to be paranoid with regard to internet banking, due to the factor that I love stuff overseas and prefer the stuff they have therein comparison to what they have in my own country.

I sometimes feel to be honest with you, that it is actually a risk each time that I connect to the Internet. At the back of my mind I am always wondering what would happen if someone hacks me? What if someone gains access to my computer and is able to get hold of my personal information and my banking details? When it comes to computer security I sometimes really don’t know what to think.

Computer Security Thoughts

I have always wondered what is going to happen with regard to the field of computer security. I mean that I am curious about how advanced antivirus programs and antispyware applications will become at a later stage. It is very scary to me that almost any crime can be done on a computer and it could even help with murder.

I am not trying to scare you; because I am scared myself I am just wondering what this all means to the world?. It is going to be really fascinating to see what happens in the future. It is also going to be fascinating to see what happens with computer crimes. I think that computer crimes are going to increase even more and online criminals are going to actually get smarter.

Computer security has come a long way but I think that is still has a way to go. At the end of the day only time will tell.

Windows 7 Thoughts

I saw Windows 7 on my friend’s computer the other day and this was the first time that I saw it. I was actually really impressed due to the factor that his entire computer looked much faster and cleaner. The desktop especially, as well as the taskbar seems to appear much neater for some reason in Windows 7,as opposed to the operating system versions. I am not sure why this as I need to find out some more information about Windows 7.I also have had no direct personal experience with it, but I am planning to as it looks remarkable.

I really love the factor that the user is able to actually shift the location of the various icons within the taskbar. I think this is completely funky, user friendly and not to mention convenient. I personally think that Windows 7 in a general sense just appears neater and cleaner. I am one of those people that have a tendency to have lots of windows open and lots of icons everywhere. The way I obtain clarity when I am working on a machine is through the clutter and Windows 7 seems to be the answer to my problems.

I don’t want to say too much right now with regard to Windows 7 but I would love to hear your opinions. I also will be having many more encounters with Windows 7 in the not too distant future and shall let you know how it goes.
