A review on a post on Internet Security from My E-Commerce blog

According to the Symantec bi-annual Internet Security Threat Report, there are more than 100 millions of computer viruses are circulating now. Are public aware of this potential threats? I don’t think so. Based on the figure F-secure provided, the number of pieces of the malware detected in year 2007 was doubling increased than year 2006. A reason to explain this sharp increase of malware can be due to the cyber criminal who pump out malware to fool anti-virus programs which look for characteristics they have already seen. Most of the malicious programs detected by these security organizations are aimed at the various versions of Microsoft's Windows operating system. This problem cannot be ignored. Don’t ever think that you won’t be the next victim in this upgrowth technology era. Your negligence might bring you very serious consequences at any time, every minute. In my opinion, all these risks of being hacked or virus infected can actually be minimized. All we need to do is to install reliable anti-virus software and keep it updated, don’t accept the mails from strangers, constantly delete all the cookies in your computer and so on. Lastly, you must backup all your important data which is in your computer all the time. In the case of virus infected, which is unavoidable, we still can call up all the important data we needed.
