Should I hide my IP Address?

Hiding your IP address is an absolutely normal thing to do.

IP address can also be accessed by unknown people, so if you want to set privacy restrictions you can hide your IP address.
You should hide your IP address if you do these activities on the net:

10.If you want t stay protected on the web.

You may believe that the web is perfectly safe and that since you are not the owner of a big firm, nobody would be interested in your activities. But the truth is that there are many people who want to know what you do and who you are. These are advertisers, marketers, providers and the websites themselves. They want to know about the sites you like to visit, your emails, your interests, your location and so on. And what’s worse is that they have a legal right to do so. But you have a right to protect your privacy too.

7 Business Advantages Of Offering Data Security

1. Protection of Valuable Information

Valuable information must be protected. Information is one of the most valuable assets of any enterprise, no matter what kind of product you are developing to handle it: a custom software or in-house automation solution. Its protection is a vital part of IT infrastructure. Make your life easier by integrating security into the solution.

2. Keeping Ahead of Competitors

Stay ahead of competition. Be in the first row of software manufacturers, who build their applications with security in mind. Any software is more welcome, when it fits into existing business processes. Adding another level of data protection is always viewed as a benefit, while its lack is a serious disadvantage.

3. Expanding Into New Markets

Adding security to typical applications is a way to expand the business into new markets. For example, adding a security to you LAN communication application may give you an access to government or military market.

4. Caring About Clients

Offering security drives sales. When you offer security in your software as a bonus, your clients will feel that you really care about their well-being.

5. Reduced Costs of Development

Plugging security into your application beforehand reduces development and support time. Sooner or later you will face the necessity to add security features to your solution. The later you do this, the more code you will have to modify. Inadvertent data loss caused by insecure software may cost you significant money and time lost in courts. This will make you think about adding security anyway.

6. Software Interoperability

By adding security you will improve different software systems interoperability. Some developers choose custom data storage and exchange formats, thinking that they are faster to implement. Later it turns into additional expenses, when proper communication with other applications becomes a must. A lot of resources will be spent on changing formats or creation of data converters. Use of standard security enabled data storage formats and data exchange protocols ensures widest possible interoperability.

7. Meeting Current Standards

In order to be reliable and up-to-date, a software needs to follow current standards. One of the widespread and important standard is requirement of software security. In the majority of industries data protection is a must, and your software should follow these standards to be adequate to current demands.

What is Spyware and Adware?

Halfway working through using your computer you found that your machine is giving you a very sudden slow performance. It does not indicate you early enough but by the time you know it, your system is already as slow as s tortoise with something running secretly in the background.

If you still insist that you are not noticing anything weird happening to your system, then you will soon see a pile of pop up advertisements whenever you open a new page in your browser. Colleagues start to hint you with the possibility of spyware attacks on your system, and hurry you to try the latest anti spyware programs.

It sounded so familiar. Spywares are usually programs that are installed in a system without the acknowledgement of the user. Usually spread while the user is installing freeware or shareware, which are often downloaded free from the net. Other ways of spreading also includes fooling the users to install the spyware instead of the software they wanted to install at first.

Many spywares actually logs user information such as webpage they visited, or the types of webpage they usually visit. Advertisements are then sent to the user's computer, appearing as pop ups that annoys users whenever they click their intended page. Clicking on the pop up windows might just bring them to more spyware infested sites.

Spywares causes the computer to slow down drastically. It takes up resources without the knowledge of the user, running on the background, sending and retrieving data between the user's computer and the company that sent out the spyware to log user's information. Low in memory, slow processor speeds, and also a decrease in network traffic is what expected to be happening in a spyware hit computer.

To avoid getting spywares is easy. Rely only on trusted freewares from re known companies. Never try to click on a pop up advertisement. If a suspected ware is running in your computer, use a spyware detector such as Spybot Search and Destroy to find out the culprit.

Computer Monitoring – Annoying?

Imagine the situation when you are happily working to your current project using the PC in front of you, then came a popup message notifying you of a new email have been received from a colleague. Seeing the 'Urgent' label across the mail you clicked it open to find it to be a gossip about your boss's weird looking necktie is all wrong with his pink blazer and blue slacks. Soon you see both of you being called into your boss's office facing your ugly nightmare.

Because of the terminal monitoring software installed in your computer. Making it a chance for your boss to monitor your every email you've sent or received using your desktop. It may be just pure luck for your boss to notice this funny email, or it is there on purpose to catch gossipers around.

Yes it is wrong to not paying attention while working, but at least better than using the computer to commit crimes or threats. Monitoring an employee's work desktop should not be that strict until it is not possible to let employees having at least some freedom of using the company's resource.

Privacy, defined as information being shared within a secluded group of people or alone, should not be invaded, either in both real world or on this scenario, virtually. Employers have the right to monitor your mailbox for worrying the leak of company secrets or so, but taking things like the case above this seriously will only cause a workgroup to be working involuntarily.

This is not only happening in the workplace, but also in schools, homes, and even cyber cafes. Schools with computer laboratories often imply strict monitoring methods to avoid students accessing harmful websites such as online pornography, bomb making sites, and sites full of viruses and worms. We can see the need of computer monitoring here but blocking out online messenger services within friends, or even doing a research about 'Sextuplet
