PC Maintenance and Security

I watched the tutorial about the Craigslist Scam. And it shocked when I learned that they could use this to plan a murder.And I also found that for website like Ebay, there are scams also. Because towards me, Ebay has high reliability, and it brings me alert that if I want to buy things from any websites, I need to be a smart consumer and think through it before I make any deals. Also don't fall for the traps like free deals that are guaranteed.

Another useful tutorial is the phishing scam. I had had some similar experience before.There are many times that I received phone calls from a person and said that there were problems with my credit card. However, I do not have a credit card. I think phishing scam is kind of like this. People fall for their tricks because they scare people with false message such as their bank account is stolen. This tutorial increases my awareness for phishing scams and also it shows me some common traps that are used so I knew how to avoid them.

As much as I am aware of the importance of keeping my computer secure, I do not know how to do it. So "How to keep your computer secure" tutorial lays out a step-by-step procedure to help me do this. I have tried the browser security test and it tells the potential problem that my computer has, it helped me a lot and I would keep scanning my computer regularly.

These tutorial are all wonderful. Before I watched them, I thought that my computer has no problem. Honestly, I was wondering how important it is to learn PC maintenance and security but right now, I learned that there are so many things that we need to be aware of on the Internet. I am very thankful that I have this opportunity to learn about this.
