There are plenty of so called bad guys out there smart enough to know the fact that most of the computer users now use firewalls & strong anti virus to protect the pc from unwanted hazards. So when their Trojan fails on your operating system they use a different way. They scam.

As the scams are being made with more & more sophistication, our duty as a safe user is to know the nature of the scams & ways to protect our pc from it. Pishing is an easy and effective way to get rid of the scams. The latest security suits offer this facility. In a nut shell it works like when you are about to visit a corrupted site then the browser will send you specially designed warning page that will warn you & advice you not to go ahead with the site. If you care to listen to the instruction then you might decide not to visit the site. You can also take your chances to visit the site but that would be counted as your own responsibility.

The origin of the word is funny as the word itself. It is derived from the phrase “fishing for personal information”. Many known people have defined the term but the basic meaning stays the same: some one will try to know your personal details that could be used to cheat you or steal from you. Things like credit card numbers, passwords, names of the parents etc. they would do anything to know anything about you that could help them.

Now comes the question. How can I secure my pc & my bank account & personal information from these bad guys? The answers are few. First of all always keep your browser updated by visiting the browser designer’ site. Never even by mistake give away your personal information in e-mail.  The most common way they use is an e-mail which is designed so that it looks like a bank has sent it to you. They will make you visit links that you should never visit. One thing to be noted is , no established & fair company will ever want you to give out your personal information over net.

You are sincerely requested not to call any numbers you got from the fake sites. It has become an essential part of our daily life to depend on computer. & it is our responsibility to protect our pc & most importantly our personal interest from a group of people trying to exploit you.
