Phishing Scam

http://gca-digital-world.wikispaces.com/Kristin+-+Class+Projects

When I did this project I learned that I need to tell my parents to do a lot better job with trying to keep our computer secured. There are so many different people that would scam you, and you not even know the difference. I think that it is better if people check everything before they put anytime of their personal information on any kind of website. Phishing scams are literally everywhere, and even if they aren't taking over there are still a lot of differnet warning for different ones every single day.

"2009 Virus Threats"

“Viruses of the World”



“Viruses in North America in the past 24 hours”

QUESTIONS
1.       Which continent has the most infections? ~North America is the continent that has the most infections in it.
2.       List some reasons why you think this continent has the most infections.~ I think that one reason is, because there are so many people in this continent who has computers. Most people that have computers in the North America have at least one in their home. I think another reason is that when people actually do have computers in North America that they don’t really take that good of care of them. Another reason is just criminals sending out viruses to get other peoples information for money or other things like that.
3.       What are some ways you think that this continent can fix these virus problems? ~ I think one major way that North America can fix these is by making better anti-virus problems. We need to make sure that we check our computers every day, and not open any kind of email that you don’t know what it is. You have to be very cautious about your computer.

"Using someone else's Internet Access"

I think that it is wrong to use someone else's Internet Access either way you look at it. I think that when you use somebody else's hard work, and you don't do anything to get the benefit that you don;t deserve it. In the bible it talks about doing everything to glorify God, and this definitely would not be doing anything to glorify God. It is almost like this you are taking people's money and stealing form them. A bible verse that i really like that is covering this topic is 1 Corinthians 10:31. This always pursues me to do what is right, and I know that if I lived next to a cafe that I would still buy my own Internet Access. I would know in my heart that if I made this decision, it would be the right one.
