I pericoli connessi
all'intrusione nei sistemi ad opera di hackers sono più concreti di quanto si possa pensare.
Microsoft, McAfee, Sygate ad altre softwarehouse, hanno deciso che è tempo di prevenire,
attraverso una campagna di "promozione culturale". La maggioranza dell'utenza, sia
busisness che privata, non ha la benché minima idea di quanto sia esposta a rischi legati
alla completa assenza di metodi di protezione da attacchi esterni (Firewall) durante la
navigazione. Basti pensare che durante un'ora di navigazione si subiscono, in media una decina
di attacchi dall'esterno (e non parliamo poi dei tentativi di accessso dal PC alla rete, da
parte di applicativi progettati per archiviare dati sul computer che ospita e comunicarli a
terzi non autorizzati una volta connessi). Internet, così come si è abitualmente convinti,
non è un paradiso mediatico, ma, oramai, una giungla irta di insidie, che ci offre frutti di
ogni genere, ma non tutti commestibili.
Patrocinata dall'Information Technology Association of America (ITAA)
e dal SANS Institute, la campagna ha come suo centro il sito Web personalfirewallday.org, una
risorsa contenente informazioni sintetiche su come funziona un firewall e sul perché ci si
debba proteggere.
Le minacce, molto genericamente, appartengono a tre categorie: gli hackers (anche se il
termine risulta tecnicamente inappropriato, ma tant'è), i virus ed i worm, ed i troian horse.

Spy Sweeper - Product Description
Spyware has eclipsed viruses as the fastest growing online threat,
infecting nearly 90% of Internet connected PCs. Spyware can infect your system in many
different ways: visiting a spy-spreading web site, opening a spy-carrying email attachment,
downloading a spy as part of another (often "free") software program, etc. Your
privacy, and even your identity, is at high risk if you surf the Internet more than one hour a
week, share your computer or use file-sharing programs like KaZaa. Traditional anti-virus
programs and firewalls don't offer protection from invasive and harmful spyware programs that
can manifest themselves in many ways on your PC. New from Webroot, the leader in privacy
protection, Spy Sweeper safely detects and removes more traces of spyware than any other
program including; Trojans, adware, keyloggers and system monitoring tools (e.g. Gator,
Xupiter, Backorifice and more).
Unscrupulous marketers, hackers and thieves work daily to create new
intrusive, harmful and annoying spyware to invade your privacy and steal your personal
information. Spy Sweeper spy definition databases are updated on a regular basis, offering
protection against the latest threats, arming you with knowledge including background
information such as where spies came from and the level of harm they pose, and offering
recommendations on how to protect yourself and your PC. And because removing some spyware can
break other programs on your system, Spy Sweeper offers the ability to quarantine (or disable)
spyware, preventing the spy from functioning, but still allowing you access to your favorite
free or shareware programs.
Don't get caught without protection from harmful spyware that invades your
privacy and can even lead to identity theft. Protect yourself and your PC with the most
comprehensive anti-spyware tool available.
