65535 Doors To Protect Without Locksmith

Internet is a very nice world. You can visit all kind of places, find all the information you need, play games, order products to your home, and read all there is you like. But you are not alone, and not everybody on the internet has good intentions.

Internet is just like the real world If you like to walk or drive the busy streets of your city, or visit the desert of the Middle-East or the jungle of Africa You would not go unprepared, you need rules, how to cross streets, where to drive, get your vaccinations to visit the jungle etc.


If you compare the real world with the virtual world called Internet you will find many similarities.

Most people live in a home and of course those homes have doors, a front door, and sometimes also a back door.

Nobody will be surprised to hear that those doors are locked, and that you as a stranger have to knock on the door, if you want to enter their home.

In the early days of home computing it was the habit, that if you had to connect some service outside your home you would use your Modem and dial a special phone number and after ending your transaction this one to one connection disconnected and that was it.

Now a day's we are almost full-time connected to everybody else in the world via the World Wide Web. Millions and Millions computers and we have no clue who they are.

Most of these connected computers are trustworthy but a few are not, their owners have wrong intentions and would like to get behind your walls and take ownership of your computer.

Most people do not realize that we have in our homes not one or two doors that need to be locked, but that we have more than 65 thousand doors (also called Ports) consisting of a few little thin copper wires we call our Internet connection, and that all those doors need to be protected against unwelcome guests.

And that is not all, many families have more than one computer, father has one, mother has one, and if the kids are old enough they have one too and they all have an extra 65 thousand doors that need to be protected.

Well the Internet intruders won't steal your new Television set, or your new painting from the wall, or your new car but they are capable of stealing other valuables like your privacy, or your passwords, or your credit card details, and that could cost you a lot of money and troubles.

So you really need protection. Maybe you think hey, what are the odds, that they break-in in to my computer, there are so many of them. But the fact is that those bad people are able to scan and test many computer connections almost at the same time automatically. They don't need a hammer or other physical tools to hack in to your computer, and if they do, you would not notice it at all, it makes no sounds, no breaking glass.

The Internet is a dangerous world to be connected to if you are not protected. Dangers do come in many ways, there are Viruses, Worms, Trojans, Spyware, and even sometimes e-mails let people believe that they have to do some actions on their computer that has the same effect as a virus. Or they use your computer to send other people spam e-mails that originates from your computer.

Of course there are solutions, you do not have to go to a Locksmith, and there are many software packages that can help you to minimize the risks.
