TrendProtect protects you

Last week while we was in the process of switching all our content and getting the new EZ Computer Help up and running i found this very cool plugin for Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. The reason that i find this to be a cool application is that whenever i search on Google now, the links will be highlighted in one of three colors.

These colors help a user to determine whether to visit the website or not. The way websites are ranked are determined by the users who have also visited the site.

This is great for those who want to make sure that the websites they go on are safe and for those who need that extra sense of security.

Why "https" is important!

In this post i will discuss the importance of using “https://” when logging in to certain websites and where it is useful for it to be committed.

“https://” is basically an secure and encrypted way to access a web page. You may have noticed this when you are logging into your Banks website or making a purchase online. Recently there has been a sudden interest in WiFi security. I observed on television that the way to “fully” protect yourself was to have a WPA connection to the router. That is a solution for privatised WiFi. But what about in a public area like Starbucks?

That is where “https://” comes in. Unlike “http://”, “https://” is a secure connection. This is the best way to surf securely. Try to get into the habit of doing it because if someone gets a hold of your details then you have a whole lot more problems on your hands then.
