Advantages and disadvantages of quick heal antivirus software?
Asked by Wiki User
I used many anti-viruses and i suggest you to buy Quick Heal. I'm telling you the advantages and disadvantages of all anti-viruses. Bitdeffender's detection is good but it decrease your internet speed. Bitdeffender is recommend only for high speed users. Kespersky is the worst anti-virus. Virus detection is very bad and it is very risky as it delete the System file also it kill very much computer resource. Norton is a anti virus that only scan for viruses but didn't delete completely as it is mentioned in the official website of symentic(Norton) and the daily update of this anti virus is too big. AVG is a good anti-virus but the main problem is that if are about to download videos from youtube via IDM or DAP, you cant and the daily update of AVG is very big. I recommend this anti-virus only for high speed internet users. Panda has amazing cloud security but the detection is not good at all. Avast has low property of detection and healing. Avira detect very well but cant heal properly. Microsoft Security is now become very popular. The update of Microsoft Security Essential takes low time but it cant heal properly and the scanning of 1.5 gb takes more than 2 hour.
I recommend you to buy Quick Heal with amazing scanning,detection and healing property. Update is low and it don't hamper your internet speed.
It is my favorite anti virus since i'm using. Quick heal is not so popular but it is the best anti virus. It have also mobile scanner which scan your mobile

What is the difference between a router and a firewall?
Asked by Wiki User
A router (a piece of hardware) is just a way to move/share a connection with several other computers (i.e. using a router so that all three computers in your house can use the same internet connection) - while a firewall (usually a piece of software) is meant to block unauthorized access (hackers) to your computer/network and help protect you from viruses, spam, etc. ----- Put this way---- With a router (with default settings) in between two or more networks, hosts from any two networks can communicate accross, because router has to entertain them (no security zoning) With a firewall (with default settings) in between two or more networks, hosts from any two networks CANNOT communicate accross, because firewall MUST NOT entertain them (Security Zones) ----BTW Read these lines if you are getting interviewed----- ;)

What does a firewall use to effectively control traffic flow?
Asked by Wiki User
In the physical world, businesses rely on several layers of security. First, they rely on their country's government and military forces to keep order. Then, they trust their local police to patrol the streets and respond to any crimes that occur. They further supplement these public security mechanisms by using locks on doors and windows, employee badges, and security systems. If all these defenses fail and a business is a victim of a crime, the business's insurance agency absorbs part of the impact by compensating the business for a portion of the loss.
Unfortunately, the state of networking today lacks these multiple levels of protection. Federal and local governments do what they can to slow network crime, but they're far from 100 percent effective. Beyond prevention, law enforcement generally only responds to the most serious network intrusions. The average Internet-connected home or business is attacked dozens of times per day, and no police force is equipped to handle that volume of complaints. Losses from computer crime are hard to quantify and predict, and as a result most business insurance policies do little to compensate for the losses that result from a successful attack.
The one aspect of physical security, however, that isn't missing from network security is the equivalent of door locks, employee badges, and security systems: firewalls. Just as you lock your car and home, you need to protect your computers and networks. Firewalls are these locks, and just like in the physical world, they come in different shapes and sizes to suit different needs. The famous Jargon Dictionary has a great definition for firewall: "a dedicated gateway machine with special security precautions on it, used to service outside network connections and dial-in lines." Firewalls serve two useful purposes: they filter what traffic comes into your network from the outside world, and they control what computers on your network may send there.
It's important to understand one thing, however. No firewall-whether a small, free host-based firewall or a multiple-thousand-dollar enterprise firewall array-will make your computers impervious to attack. Firewalls, like locks and walls and moats and dragons, create barriers to attack-they get in the way of someone trying to take control. By making it difficult for attackers to get into your computer, by making them invest lots of time, you become less attractive. Firewalls very effectively block most bad guys from compromising an individual computer. But it's impossible to fully prevent every intrusion: All software has bugs, and someone might find an obscure bug in your firewall that allows them to pass through. In a nutshell, there's no such thing as absolute security. How much you invest in firewalls should be a function of how much you have to lose if an attack is successful.

Is there security on the Internet?
Asked by Wiki User
For the typical user the answer is most certainly no but it depends entirely on how you define "sent via the internet." If you connect to a web site using the standard http protocol then it is an unsecured connection. If you are using the https (SSL) connection then it is encrypted and gives some degree of security however there are man in the middle attacks that can defeat SSL connections.
If you are talking about sending email then there is no security as the message crosses the internet unless you encrypt it with something like PGP. You can have TLS encrypted connections between mail servers that will protect the message as it crosses the internet but once it is received by the mail server it is unprotected. Thus the network connection between your client and the mail server is not secure. The message can be sniffed off the network and read.
The same goes for your user name and password for a typical POP3 mail account (most ISP accounts), it can be sniffed off the network and stolen. So bottom line is for the most part information sent via the internet is not secure unless specific measures are taken to secure it.
Which symbol represents a secure website?
Asked by Wiki User
there is a padlock icon in the address bar

hope it helped :)
