Laptop Computer But this is not true. Every problem has its reason. If you know the reason, you can solve the
problem! And this is the place where we should remember great scientist Petri and his dish. Let
me cite Wikipedia:

What is a Network Interface Card (NIC) The most important PC device is the network interface card (NIC). Each computer on the network, including the servers, is required to have one installed. It is the NIC that provides connectivity between the PC and the network's physical medium, optic cable. Most of the new motherboards available today for PCs and servers have the network interface card integrated with the motherboard. Older computers and some newer computers do not provide onboard network interfaces which will equire a NIC to be added.

Desktop Computer "A Petri dish is a shallow glass or plastic cylindrical dish that biologists use to culture
microbes. It was named after the German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri (1852-1921) who
invented it in 1877 when working as an assistant to Robert Koch."

Notebooks Before Petri's invention people thought that microbes can appear from nothing or more likely
materialize from air. For example, a little piece of bread left outdoors becomes green after
some time. Millions of mold spores will found this bread a very fertile field to grow in.

Lenovo Very similar to spyware problem situation, don't you think? You leave you PC alone for several
minutes and voila! A couple of new spyware programs are already there. But these great
scientists prove that microbes can only propagate themselves if there were already some
microbes in the material. In other words this bread is populated by mold only if there were
already some mold spores in it. Petri took a cylindrical dish with bent neck so that microbes
couldn't get inside. Then he put a little piece of bread on the plate and the other little
piece inside this dish. The piece on the plate became green in several days. There already were
some microbes on the plate so they migrated to the bread without any difficulty. And the dish
was perfectly sterile. There were no any microbes in it at all. And the bread inside stayed
untouched with mold for several weeks. That's it - microbes can not invade material if there
were no microbes before.

Hard Drive And this is absolutely the same thing we see with computer security!

Travelstar No computer virus, trojan or spyware can appear in your PC if it didn't come outside. This is
the fact almost all users forget about when face with armada of computer pests. This may sound
as rather simple principle. However, There Is The Root Of The Solution. ALL Your Security And
Privacy Computer Problems Are There.

Gateway Imagine your computer as a black box with a number of inputs and outputs. I am not talking of
peripheral inputs like COM, LPT or USB ports! I mean informational inputs and outputs instead.
For example, when you buy new software disk or computer game in your nearest Wal Mart, bring
this disk to your computer and insert it into your CD-ROM drive - that is the input. You just
brought some new information to your computer. And when you send an email to someone - this is
an output. I want you to understand this important thing clearly: these inputs and outputs are
the only ways information can get into or from your computer. No other way exists. Only this
one.

Laptop Parts Unfortunately, this is also the only way new viruses, trojans, spyware and adware get to your
computer and this is also the only way your private information can run away straight to the
hands of dishonest people. However, now you have this secret weapon - you know your enemy's
face.

Software This Is The Solution: You Should Shield All Your Informational Inputs And Outputs. With Your
Inputs And Outputs Shielded No One Would Have A Single Ability Even To Imagine How He Can Get
Your Private Information Or Harm Your PC.

Hard Drives However, in order to block all unwanted traffic through our inputs and outputs we should know
all these inputs and outputs, right?

Electronics Let's name some inputs and outputs in your system. In fact, you know many of them.

Canon - Web pages
- Emails
- CD and DVD disks
- USB Drives
- Digital Camera
- Local Network

Desktop Pc But there are also some other inputs and outputs that you have never thought about. Even not
every IT specialist knows them. Here are some of them:

Desktop Computers - Remote Desktop
- Remote Assistant
- Backdoor systems that work though the standard ports
- HTTP Tunneling services
- Local proxy servers
- and more, and more, and more...

Think Pad All these inputs and outputs are opened for everyone on almost all computers. These inputs and
outputs are opened on your computer right now inviting everybody to come in and bring or take
what they want. This is a scary picture, isn't it? Think of the fact that every day and every
minute every hacker can bring a malicious program into your computer through one of these
"shadow" paths and take a full control over it! Here is my opinion:

Repair MY COMPUTER IS MY PROPERTY AND I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAS RIGHTS TO USE IT. I AM THE ONLY
PERSON TO PERMIT OR DENY ACCESS TO MY PC.

Data Recovery So we need some program that will control all our inputs and outputs and block all unwanted
traffic while allowing the traffic we want to pass through (our own correspondence, programs,
games clear from viruses, safe documents, and so on). I put a much wider meaning into the word
"traffic" than it is used to mean before. "Traffic" is an information that passes through all
our inputs and outputs and not only to or from Internet.

Cisco Let's summarize, what such program should be able do to:
- Block all unwanted traffic in the wide meaning of this word
- Make all wanted traffic clean and safety. No private information will go away.
- Don't disturb you with a lot of alert messages and silly questions. It should protect
you silently while you are working or entertaining.
- Show you what is going on if you would like to know it once upon a time.
- Be cheap, dependable and easy to use,

Keyboard Firewalls fulfill several of these conditions. Alas, they do not fulfill all the conditions.
Even having a good firewall in your system you can't consider your PC clean and your
information safe and private. Firewall does not block all the inputs and outputs of your
system. But there a several programs that do. You can easily found such programs in the
Internet by searching for "effective active defense", "spyware and adware active defense",
"active shield", "shield against computer pests" and so on.

Monitor Please do not postpone taking measures against concealed invaders. While you are reading this
article, computer pest are already in your system or on the avenue of approach. Turn your PC
into secure stronghold right now!
