5 Tips For Staying Safe On Myspace
There is no doubt that http://MySpace.com has grown into a worldwide phenomenon and it
seems that every day, there is a new story being published about the site.
In November 2006, MySpace became the #1 website in the world in terms of monthly page
views, having surpassed Yahoo and this online giant shows no sign of slowing down.
With over 130 Million people currently using MySpace worldwide, it's no wonder that this
social networking colossus has had its share of negative publicity as some less than
desirable characters have made it a homebase from which to launch some of their illegal
activities.
Still, just like millions of people use email and online banking safely on a regular basis,
MySpace can be a safe place to spend your time on if you follow a few basic guidelines.
Here are 5 tips you can follow and apply to make sure you are safe and that your
information remains private while on MySpace:
1. Become intimately familiar with the information located at the privacy and Safety Tips
links located at the bottom of every page on MySpace. There are also some great
government information links on those pages which will provide you with general
instructions on how to stay safe on the Internet.
2. Make sure that you do not reveal any information on your profile or via a message that
you will regret later (this includes private information such as your email, private messenger
ID, etc.)
3. Log into your profile and from the Home page of your profile, click on "Account Settings."
From there, you will see a series of profile settings including Privacy Settings, IM Privacy
Settings and several other options that you may want to adjust to increase your own degree
of privacy.
4. Do not believe everything you read on MySpace. Not everyone is who they claim to be.
As such, do not agree to meet anyone physically or reveal your address to anyone without
being completely sure of who that person is and what their intentions are.
5. If at any point you feel uncomfortable with the way someone is approaching you - do not
be afraid of blocking that person and if you feel it merits a more severe action, simply click
on the link at the bottom of every page on MySpace that says "Contact MySpace" and
inform MySpace about the incident.
In conclusion, staying safe on MySpace involves following some basic guidelines and
applying a good degree of common sense.
2. As the whole online social networking wave keeps growing and more people get on
MySpace, it pays to have good safety and privacy habits - most of which can also be
applied to remain safe on any other Internet site.

a few thousand bucks. But you can do the whole thing yourself and make it drag and drop

Importance Of PC Anti Spyware And Spyware Blockers
Anti Spyware and Spyware blockers and needed for PC systems for any person that wants
to connect to the internet to access information. Most of us PC owners now know about
software called Spyware that gets install on our computer systems by surfing the internet
and some of you have Anti Spyware and Spyware blockers installed but how protected are
you from these types of software? In most cases if you are running Windows XP or Vista
you do have some protection from Windows defender which is now part of the operating
system however this software only provides a limited amount of protection. It could be that
you also got software with your PC or purchased some Anti Spyware with spyware blocker
but how effective is this software now.
Let's start out by review and going over what is spyware and how anti spyware and spyware
blockers are still need to protect your computer and your personal information. Spyware and
Adware, also called "Malware", are files made by publishers and marketers that allow them
to snoop on your browsing activity, see what you search for and purchase and then will
send you "pop-up" ads in most cases. In time they can slow down your PC, and cause
issues with your PC and Internet browser and even cause the PC to crash. How Spyware
impact your computers is that overtime as more and more of this type of software gets
loaded on your computer it actively ties up your system processes and resources that leads
to slower responses and often trying to go out and contact the host site it came from and in
some cases it hijacks your browser to take you to other sites that you normally would not go
to and this type of activity all affects your network connection due to the heavy traffic coming
from your PC.
Spyware and Adware viruses have rapidly become the number one threat to your computer

numbers and bank account numbers along with other personal information and can lead to
a worse possibly identity theft. If you use the internet like most people then there is a good
chance you're PC is probably infected with these types files or will be since this can happen
by simply surfing the Internet and going to websites, reading email, downloading music or
other files that infect your PC without you knowing it. I think the worst case I have seen as
an IT professional of this was one client's PC had over 400 programs running actively in the
back ground. Most of these types of software programs like hide and run in the back ground
where you don't see them normally unless it an actual Popup ad
With the current Anti Spyware and blockers combating these types of software there are
now newer forms of this software which are worse and becoming more capable at evading
detection. The latest threats are better than spyware from just a few months ago. So you're
current Anti Spyware and Spyware blocker programs may no longer be as effective at
combating spyware or blocking spyware as it was in the past.
Fortunately there are newer Spyware and Adware virus removal tools available that help
combat again these newer forms of Spyware software and helps block spyware. Sorting
through them all to find the right one is a challenging task and an important decision to
make. The best solution is to install the newer version Anti-Spyware that includes blocking
spyware this software which not only will remove any program that might get installed but
also is a blocks spyware these types of software from even getting installed.
Watch for compatibility since there are many types of software that does not run properly on
Vista. But even with this Spyware is still a real issue and still can get installed on your
computer system. So be aware of what you are accepting and clicking on since some sites
will install these kinds of programs on your computer when you go to that site or accept their
software or downloads.
I hope that this article has been helpful and informative and for more information on
Spyware and Adware.
