Whenever your computer is connected to the internet regardless of whether your browser is opened your computer is vulnerable to attack by hackers, worms, trojans, spyware and so on. For those who are utilizing a DSL, Cable Modem, LAN or T1 connection you are open to threats every time you turn your computer on and until your computer is turned off, you have a permanent connection to the internet. When you are online, you are at risk. It is very simple for just about anybody to come through your internet connection and access your computer. Unknown email attachments can unleash destructive, malicious code. Data thieves can steal your personal and financial information. Spy sites can follow your Web habits-all without your knowledge. With so much to lose, and with new Internet threats appearing daily, you need the strongest possible safeguards.

Question of the Day
• What is HTTP proxy server?
HTTP proxy server is a proxy allowing to work on the Internet with HTTP and (not always) FTP protocols. It can carry out caching of information downloaded from the Internet. Now HTTP proxy servers are the most widespread. Their support (ability to use them) is included into many programs: browsers, download managers etc. However, their support is not realized at a level of an operating system – in order to use them, you should configure all programs, which should use proxies, in an appropriate way. HTTP proxy servers have several anonymity levels.
