The internet is a wonderful place, providing us with “instant access” to news and weather, banking, entertainment, health resources, communication, and information on any topic we can imagine. As internet users, it’s hard to imagine life without the World Wide Web, and over one billion people worldwide have come to rely on it for business as well as pleasure.

With all of the world’s resources at our fingertips, it’s easy to forget that the internet is also a very dangerous place. By simply browsing the web and checking email, we innocently expose ourselves to dangerous computer viruses, Trojans, worms, spyware, adware, and other nasty applications often referred to as malware or crime-ware. Annoying Spam e-mail is now the tool of choice for cunning cyber-criminals who attempt to trick us into handing over personal information via sneaky “Phishing” scams. Children who use the internet are at risk of falling victim to sexual predators, are often exposed to inappropriate photos and websites, and are also easily lured into downloading dangerous spyware disguised as free “screensavers”, “games”, or “music”.
