Protect your computer from the internet
This may sounds like I’m tricking you into staying in my Weblog, but I’m not. You know those flashing text blogs that appears on the blogger website? Well recently, If you click on one them, you might get attack with malware, spam, or browser exploit. So be careful, with those web-logs especially ones the has merchandise, or any sexual arousing words. SEX ALWAYS SELLS, but you know that. In fact Now it’s time to shed some light for you internet beginners, or anyone.
This is a PC Internet browser that I HIGHLY recommend for anyone. Internet Explorer is really awful, and it’s not safe. I don’t know what to say,Fire Fox is great and should be given a try to everyone!
A great add-on after you install Firefox. What it does it tells you which site is bad or good, with colors. If you search “free screensaver” on google, in seconds you can find which website you should stay away. Clicking on the icon next to the link will give you details in the siteadvisor’s webpage. You can comment on it and rate the site’s safety.
This stuff is great! This add-on will block picture-ads and you can choose to block ads by what URL it came from. After you install this feature, you can subscribe (I chose the Easy list) some list to block ads. If you don’t, then it will block some ads and you have to manaully block ads. It’s ok, but you’re better off suscribing. Either way, doing both is the best way to block ads.
Adblock doesn’t block these .swf ads (you can try by blocking the .swf ads url) and that today nearly all ads were in .swf a.k.a Flash. This add on will block any .swf it encounters, thus saving your computer some RAM/performance. Like youtube, it uses flash to view videos. So how do you view flash? by clicking the icon on the middle, which will allow you to see the .swf file on your browser. If it’s presence gets annoying, you can right click and remove the .swf file. You should read the flash block reviews review to hear what people say about. I can’t live without this Ao(add-ons) and I recommend this ao.
itssomeguyeh from the review says:
“To those who are complaining about flashblock remaining after uninstalling, reinstall, and try disabling it before the uninstall.”
When you come across a link you don’t think it’s safe, left click it and choose “copy link location”. You’ve copied the link, go to siteadvisor.com, paste it on the “look up site report” bar, hit enter, and check out the report.
If you don’t have an anti virus program then this is for you. Years ago, this used to be free and it was great. But now they are selling it, which sucks, but they will give you a free trial, and that’s good. I don’t know how long it last, I’ve been using it for a month and it expires at 7/1/2009 so it’s a long trial. You can read the reviews at download.com
Like antivirus, but this one deals with spam in your computer.
If you install these software they may slow down your computer. It’s best if you closed them by dragging you arrow to the lower right of the screen, right click the icon you don’t want running, and click exit. For the antivirus, right click your desktop bar, and click task manager, or press ctrl + Shitf + Esc buttons at the same time. go to process, and find a process that starts with “av”
and click the end process button. Now this will free up your performance, you can end any process you won’t need, but there are process that the computer require, so be careful. If your computer is doomed, then you might as well restart the whole computer to it’s factory image.
Well, now you’re defense is up. This is the internet, there a good people and there are bad people.
