Security precautions when using the Internet
Due to the accessibility and open nature of the Internet, it is a prime breeding
ground for the distribution of malicious programs exploiting computer
vulnerabilities. Viruses are an example of such programs creating various faults
from deleting system files to embedding themselves within your computer and
bombarding web servers.
In order to effectively protect yourself software applications can be
installed on your computer to act as a guard while you are connected to the
Internet. These include:
- Antivirus software which detects viruses and cleans them off your system.
