A review on a post on internet security


Nowadays, because of advance in information technology, many people force to using the computer to perform their jobs. But some of the issue raise is that we have to secure our computer by attacking by virus. With the latest news, more than 1 million computer viruses in circulation now. This is a huge amount that we have to concern about. In China, 1 million computers were attacked by viruses. This is not the first time China's web user are experiencing problems recently. During last year Christmas holiday, Internet access was slowed down as the result of the earthquake at the Pacific Ocean. This indicate how dangerous id the viruses to spoiled. Beside that, Malaysia Government has approved RM43 million to set up an international centre which offer the world the best brains and facilities to help fight cyber security threats. The center is called International Multinational Partnership Against Cyber Terrorism (IMPACT). It will be based in Cyberjaya with leading names in the IT industry serving on its advisory board. This may increase the internet security for home user but also for organization. Not only for computer security being threat. Mobile devices can also be infected with mobile malicious software (malware). Currently, there are a few hundred mobile viruses as compared to hundreds of thousands of PC viruses. Although this figure is small but don't forget that there are more mobile phones in the world as compared to the PCs and laptops.

Internet security is really important for the function of a computer or laptop when this computer or laptop is connected to the internet. Without the internet security, the unwelcome virus will damage the software or the programs in the computer or laptop. Computer or laptop users really need to install the correct internet security in order to ensure the computer or laptop is always protected.
