Antivirus Software For Protection From Viruses

With the increase in use of the internet, the levels of cyber crime are also rising at a very fast rate. There are a number of cyber crimes which can happen to anyone who accesses the internet on a daily basis. Since people store important information on their computers such as financial documents, confidential documents and even bank details, cyber criminals are finding new ways to obtain this information through various methods. Computer hacking via the internet is present in many forms such as email phishing and viruses. This is why it is very important to have good antivirus software to protect your computer in order to secure important data.

The improvement in the computer and internet sector has helped us to access data from any place in the world and connect with anyone who has an internet connection. However, this also poses a great threat to us as cyber criminals can also use this to their advantage. They have found ways to hack into other people’s computers while they are connected to the internet and steal data or plant viruses into their computers. In order to avoid being a victim of cyber crime you need to find good antivirus and firewall software that can block out any such threats. You can find a number of different antivirus software programs in the market, but not all are the same. Not all antivirus software programs detect every new virus or other kinds of threats that may harm your computer. Nowadays, antivirus programs have been updated to protect your computer from worms, Trojans, jokes and other hoaxes. The best antivirus firewall software will include all these features so it is best to get this.

When you do install antivirus firewall software onto your computer it is still not 100% protected from all the threats on the internet as new threats are updated on a daily basis. So in order to be protected from these new threats you need to find an antivirus firewall software program which will upgrade itself on a daily basis. This feature allows the software to detect the latest kinds of threats so that your computer is protected at all times.

After updating the software it is very important to scan your computer using the program to ensure that there are no threats already present on your PC. So make sure you find a good antivirus firewall software program which will protect your PC not only from viruses, but from other threats such as worms, hoaxes and Trojans.

The best way to find a good program is to go online and search the web and look at the different features offered in each. You can also go on the website of these software providers and read reviews in order to compare the different software available. Choose one which best suits your requirements so that you don’t end up wasting money on something which is no use to you. Think before you buy since they cost quite a bit of money.

ABCs Of RSS Feeds (Page 1 of 3)

Implementing RSS (Really Simple Syndication) can be aided by an understanding of the terms relating to RSS. Learn the ABCs of RSS….

A – AutoDiscovery

Auto Discovery is code that is inserted into the header of an HTML web page, which then indicates to readers that an RSS feed is available for the content.

B – Blogs

Blogs are web logs that are updated regularly, usually on a daily basis. Blogs generally contain information related to a specific topic. In some cases, blogs are used as daily diaries about people’s personal lives, political views, or even as social commentaries. The truth of the matter is that blogs can be shaped into whatever the author wants them to be. While initially thought of as diaries or online journals, blogs have evolved into the latest fresh web content.

C – Cache

Cache is a temporary storage area for frequently-accessed or recently-accessed data. Having certain data stored in a cache area speeds up the operation of the computer. Using a cache with RSS feeds will help minimize bandwidth and display an RSS feed’s content quicker.

D – Display

RSS Many webmasters post the content of an RSS feed on their website. They use either PHP, ASP, or javascript for such purposes. If done properly, the feed’s content will dynamically update as the content of the feed changes.

E – Elements

Within an RSS feed, there are various feed elements. The elements of an RSS feed are defined by tags.

F – Filter

Many RSS feeds contain duplicate or similar content. Publishers can filter RSS feeds so that they only see content that they wish to see, by filtering out duplicate postings.

G – GUID

GUID stands for Globally Unique IDentifier. The RSS specification strongly suggests that each RSS feed item have a unique GUID. If you are creating feeds, a GUID is important because GUIDs are often used by feed readers and aggregators to determine if a feed item is new or simply an existing item that has been updated. Each item in the RSS feed should have a unique GUID.

H – HTML

HTML, which is the acronym for HyperText Markup Language, is frequently used to design websites.

I – iTunes Namespace

The iTunes Namespace allows the user to add the information necessary to have a podcast listed on the Apple iTunes Music Store (ITMS).

J – JavaScript

Javascript can be used to display the content of an RSS feed.

K – Keywords

Keywords should be integrated into the RSS feed to help search engines determine what the RSS feed is about.

L – Links

Links are used to direct RSS readers to the original webpage containing information that directly relates to the feed.

M – Mashup

A mashup is a combination of multiple RSS feeds that have been merged together to create a new, single feed.

N – Namespace Extensions

The RSS specification allows you to create and use your own custom elements (tags) in any RSS feed by declaring your own namespace. Doing this is 100% in line with the RSS specification and the feed will validate. However, you should have a specific and well-planned reason to do so. No RSS readers, or other RSS processing applications, will be able to use your custom info for any purpose. Adding elements (tags) would typically be used only in an in-house situation where both the writing application and the reading application have prior knowledge of the new tags.

5 Powerful Tools for Keyword Suggestions and Ideas

Many of you experienced keyword-junkies out there may already know about these tools, but nonetheless these are some very important tools that can be used to create the most powerful use of keywords for your website or blog. Here’s what we start out with (keep in mind, these are tools for keyword building and research and don’t delve into issues such as keyword density, page flow etc,). These are used primarily for Suggestions.

  • Ad words External Keyword Tool
  • This tool can be called the “big brother” of keyword drilling based on generic ideas.It’s both a great tool for figuring out potential keyword combinations based both on ideas presented and semantic terms.
    It also doubles up by showing search traffic for these terms according to Google. (Even though I believe most of the data is skewed to an extent).

  • Keyword Discovery
  • CREDIT: PPC HERO
    Keyword Discovery is yet another service which tries to replicate the function of Word tracker. But, Keyword Discovery scores a separates itself from the rest when it comes to usability as well as finding regional search data. If you’re trying to figure out the search data for regional terms or optimizing for google.co.uk or .com.au, this is one awesome tool.

  • Word tracker
  • I included Word tracker in this list after much resistance, not because the tool is not perfectly a keyword research tool, but because its more of an antique tool. Word tracker hasn’t evolved one bit over the years and still sticks to its basic function of suggesting keywords based on a thesaurus type model and displaying the search data based on meta-crawlers like Dogpile.
    The only thing I like with Word tracker is its keyword basketing system ( almost like an e commerce site checkout ) and its massive KEI functions.

  • Google Suggest
  • Google Suggest is NOT EXACTLY a typical keyword research tool, its more of an attempt by Google to tweak their search quality. But, this tool is awesome for finding our long keywords phrases! I had to include this in the list for the amazing arrays of search phrases you can optimize your website with the help of this tool. After all, keyword search phrases are gold!
