What Is
Computer Security Computer security is the process of preventing and detecting unauthorized use of your computer. Prevention measures help you to stop unauthorized users (also known as "intruders") from accessing any part of your computer system. Detection helps you to determine whether or not someone attempted to break into your system, if they were successful, and what they may have done. Intruders (also referred to as hackers, attackers, or crackers) may not care about your identity. Often they want to gain control of your computer so they can use it to launch attacks on other computer systems. broadband cable connection or DSL. Hackers just love to colonize these connections because they're so useful. If you've got one of these you must install extra security. Your service provider will be aware of the risk and should offer you advice on what kind of security you need.
