Internet Security Alabama

Internet advertisers want to bombard you with pop-up ads. Hackers might need to "borrow" your computer to mount an attack on another server. Or they might be "phishing" for credit card numbers. Or not.

Internet advertisers want to bombard you with pop-up ads. Hackers might need to “borrow” your computer to mount an attack on another server. Or they might be “phishing” for credit card numbers.

Get thee behind a firewall. Windows XP SP2 enables a firewall by default. Zone Alarm (www.zonealarm.com) is free. Hardware routers with built-in firewalls cost less than $100. There is no excuse for not protecting your information (and that of your clients) with a firewall.

Outlook 2003 offers the option of converting all incoming e-mail to plain ASCII text.
