online protection Chapter 7: Security & Protecting Yourself on the Internet  This chapter comes appropriately at this time. My friend was doing a blog entry as well, and while opening up and saving a picture he found online, his computer became infected by a virus PACKED into the picture file!  This comes as a shock to me because I never knew viruses could be hidden in even Google-d picture files. Thankfully, my laptop is equipped with a virus protection software. Protection may be a hassle, but it is absolutely necessary in today's world. While it may be costly to pay for internet protection against viruses, it is actually available for free for any UB student! :D Log into UB's IT website and MacFee Virus Scan is available for free. I am thankful to schools for looking out for students and very glad that UB has implented this as well. Protection and precaution can easily be taken even for students now. Regarding online spam, the only way is through having a spam folder for the mail account to do its work. However, that is not a big worry at the moment as what is important is in your computer or laptop, as those have much heavier consequences. So, remember to always scan and clean your computers for their health! ♥, Grace 0 COMMENTS graciebaby♥
