How much do you know about Computer Security?

Most people think that a hacker would never target “small fish” like them and that they aren’t on the Internet enough to be noticed. But they’d be wrong. With 91% of home computer infected with spyware and identity theft on the rise, it’s easier than you might think to steal an identity.

Your web browser: The first place a hacker attacks

When a hacker decides to break into your PC, the first door he will try is your web browser. Because of how the Internet works, your web browser acts as a gateway for information. When you open the Internet, you’re actually sending a request for a web page like Yahoo.com. Your web browser shoots your request across the Internet and then translates the information (Yahoo.com’s website) that comes back. Hackers have become very sophisticated and have learned ways to break through this gate way.

The problem becomes even worse when you realize that the most popular web browser, Microsoft Internet Explorer, has hundred of documented security holes.

As hackers become trickier, you need a web browser solution that is strong enough to block their attacks. Secure IE Browser Security is just such a web browser.
