"Hackers and Crackers and Mower, oh my, the Internet isn't in secure place. I'm Chris Cook with Security Awareness, Inc. and I'm going to talk to you about why we need Internet security. There are many facets of Internet security and there are many ways you need to protect yourself when using the Internet, whether it'd be browsing on web pages or the email or using the email. There are viruses that are out there that can be distributed through websites, that can be distributed through email, even valid attachments to email can have viruses embedded in them and automatically execute when they open on your computer; so you need anti-virus software for that. Over two hundred and fifty new viruses are discovered each month. When you're browsing web pages, there could be malicious code on the web pages such as adware, spyware or even, malicious, you know, very bad things like viruses that can go into your computer and delete things or send your passwords and personal information from your computer out to other users. A lot of times people will use phishing through email to try and get you to submit info, personal information or senses of information and they'll use that for the purposes of identity theft. So, why do we need the Internet security? Anytime you use the Internet you could be at risk and your information and your personal finances or even your family. So, protect yourself and make sure you know what you're doing on the Internet and that you're doing it securely. I'm Chris Cook with Security Awareness, Inc."
