Hi!
1)In the most cases security problems are spyware and addware.

2)I get them from dowloading junk from websites.

3) the effect depend on what sort you pick up e.g a dialer could give you a big phone bill or a keylogger could get your passwords or online bank details

4) the most secure system is one still in its box in the middle of a wharehouse or godown best thing to stop most spy/addware is your firewall couse once this program has the information it will try and send the info out thts where firewall can stop it my firewall has stopped alot of dialers lately

Hi!
I am not an expert of security but have some knowledge of basic security procedures.
Obviously, you make sure you have a good firewall and virus software installed on your computer and or server. It is best to change the file names when installing this software. In other words change Programfiles/firewall.exe to something like Programfiles/dz2four.exe.

Most viruses now come with code to knock out any virus and firewall software and are programmed to go straight into the files they are normally called and installed into. So if you keep the name the same the code will be able to attempt to knock it out. Most viruses are not that advanced to scan the entire drive to identify the security software, so if you change the name your software will remain protected to some degree.

A lot of common scripts can also be exploited by spammers, especially cgi form to mail scripts, so ensure your clients change the names of the script to cut down on the amount of spam mail being sent into the servers. This will save on bandwidth.

Most experts agree that virus and firewall software alone is not enough, you should also invest some money in stand alone anti trojan software like td3 and software that scans for registry changes and that may monitor processes to stop code knocking out your other security software.

You should also make the regular backup of all your data.

This is very basic security as my knowledge does not go any further on the matter.
Thanx

Hello!
1) Computer security problems which appear most are spamming, viruses, malware and hacking
2) While surfing we get them from websites, emails and when we download some stuff. It may also get infected through removable storage device
3) If our system or network gets infected then there are many security problems that may arise like malware may steal our data, virus can corrupt files, spammers may spam the inbox, our computer or network may get hacked and so on
4)There are many network security options available out of which in my computer I have installed gateway firewall by WatchGuard. It is really effective and gives my computer protection against various web threats.
