Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 SrI: Inspite of all the antivirus , firewall programs , the hackers are gettign "cuter " and for reasons known to their demented minds keep trying to break in . The following note from Sri Giridhar would be useful to you all . Please install these softwares for protecting your systems . I have McAffee Software for Security and it kicks out most of these attacks . Internet world has its mixed blessings .

Fundamentally, you need three things: a) A good anti virus b) A good firewall c) A good anti spyware If you are happy to pay, the best one to install is Norton Internet Security Suite - which offers you all the three. In terms of freeware, I would recommend the following for all our members - all of them free for download 1) For good anti virus - AVG free version is good 2) For firewalls - I would recommend Zone Alarm 3) For Anti Spyware - Spybot is good. I use Ewido, which is really good. It is essential that you have ALL the three on your computer. As Sudharshanji said, things are getting very sophisticated, but you dont need to throw your PCs away - installing the above should be able to do the trick. In addition, a lot of the viruses come because of Internet Explorer. You might like to install Mozilla Firefox, an alternative browser - it does appear that most of the viruses are written for a the Internet Explorer environment and not yet for the Mozilla environment - hence there is a degree of protection. I dont contribute in terms of religious articles - but enjoy reading them. This was one good opportunity for me to contribute.
