The first step in protecting your personal files and your privacy is making sure you are not at risk of having someone access your network without your knowledge. Any computer connected directly to the internet via dial-up, high-speed modem or an "always online" connection is essentially vulnerable to an attack.

Countless amounts of data are constantly being transmitted back and forth between networks both at home and in the office and with every transmission, there's a potential threat to your security and privacy. Hackers with malicious intent use code such as viruses, worms and Trojans to find unprotected computers over the Internet. Although many of these attacks are generally harmless, playing simple pranks on the victim, others are created with malicious intent and can cause a great deal of damage - sometime irreparable.
