“保留清楚地一切门”
因为我们结束2007年，我认为我与您在读书会分享爱德·上星期送的一个被发电子邮件的安全公报Gibson，首要安全顾问在我们的微软英国办公室，提供一个柔和的提示采取必要的预先警戒措施保证您是安全的，当使用网时。 爱德提及，如果您是连续窗口景色，您已经有 众多的工具在您的处置 帮助保留您的个人计算机和数据保险柜，当您是网上的。 然而，它是 总 一个好想法保证那些apps和工具最新和现在是一样好时期象其中任一。 如此直到2008年…
“保留清楚地一切门”
您看见了它，读它，听见它许多次您遮蔽了它…惯例，世俗…，但您本能地采取必要的防备措施。 并且认为他们的蠢货能摔打门为了哎呀缘故…某一牌子它，最不…，当他们将学会。 即使，我怀疑，当下次您在支架的里面在地下听见此讲了话在对讲机或者读警告标记您采取其次额外真正地确定一切是清楚的门。 “为什么？”，您要求。 “由于您有正义读了此!” 没有不同比许多时代您看您的手表，别人然后问您几点它是; 您不可能记住，因此您再看。
平凡，当它来到是更加安全网上的，同样申请。 过去一年您买了全新的科技目前进步水平， RAM， 600g比您将拿着更多材料的硬盘个人计算机2g或我在一生可能填满。 它用自由反发送同样的消息到多个新闻组，抗病毒软件装载了，并且一切很好去，您不更新您的软件(默认情况下窗口景色有’打开的`更新，因此，除非您弄乱它，您是好的)，实际上那么很好跑周期性anti-malware扫瞄，并且无线优良不运转那么需要检查。 您闻悉[英国]政府的 GetSafeOnline.org 竞选那个e海湾，微软， HSBC，家庭办公室， SOCA，并且其他参与，您看了恒定的新闻文章关于数据损失或偷窃从最大公司和政府机构(并且，如果您是HMRC `datagate的受害者’，您有每权利恼怒)，但嘿，您未影响…为什么做任何东西。 网上罪行的受害者…不是我，仅发生在去`错误站点’…的那些人身上谁设法通过门做它为了哎呀缘故，他们应该更好知道。
不那么快速地ItAin先生’ tGonnaHappenToMe。 That ‘other person’ is going to be you if you don’t take a few moments to make sure your operating system and software are up to date, that your firewall is turned on (both are already done for you if you are operating Windows Vista) your anti-spam and anti-virus software are installed and updated (don’t forget to renew your subscription to the anti-malware software if it is about to expire).
Organized criminals are ‘green’, ’socially conscious agnostics’, they want what is best for you - NOT!! Just like machines, THEY DON’T CARE who you are, where you grew up, what kind of accent you have, whether you’re beautiful (or like me, a face made for radio); they operate without regard to your sex or religious affiliations - I call them “THE EQUALIZERS”. They want what is yours - from your bank account, your identity, or even a bit of your bandwidth - oh yes, they can quite happily use your computer while you do and you may not ever know.
As we approach the Holidays, don’t let the Grinch of Christmas Past ruin your holidays online. Possibly, ‘just because you read this’, you will take a moment and run the Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool, will visit GetSafeOnline.org, or possibly even give the most important cyber gift of all - a trip to the wild side, WindowsMarketplace.com (click on Security Downloads) for free anti-malware. It will take you a few minutes; but a few minutes now might just save you months of hassle down the road.
Do you really want to be calling your credit card companies, bank, credit agency, DVLA, DWP, on New Year’s Eve. Or worse, worry whether someone will be showing up at your doorstep because you couldn’t be bothered to spend a measly 10 minutes with your kids to talk to them about social networking sites (oh yea, they just told their friends on their Facebook site when you were going to be away)…and you didn’t tell them how to prevent outsiders from accessing their pages. Nor did you tell them in no uncertain terms that even when they close their site everything they put on the Internet IS THERE FOREVER. Oh yes, some make it thru the doors, most don’t…when will THEY learn.
I wish you a very happy holiday season - and a safe online journey.
