PC Protection Part 1

Lesson 1: Viruses, worms, and Trojan horses in this lesson, you’ll learn what viruses and worms are, how they can enter your PC, and how you can remove them quickly and easily. Viruses and worms are computer programs deliberately designed and written to alter the way your computer works, without your permission or knowledge.

Why does Google remember information about searches?

Google recently announced a new policy to anonymize google server logs after 18–24 months. Google the only leading search company to have taken this step publicly. Google believe it’s an important part of our commitment to respect user privacy while balancing a number of important factors. In developing this policy, we spoke with various privacy advocates, regulators and others about how long they think the period should be. There is a wide spectrum of views on this – some think data should be preserved for longer, others think it should be anonymized almost immediately. We spent a great deal of time sorting this out and thought we’d explain some of the things that prompted us to decide on 18-24 months. Three factors were critical. One was maintaining our ability to continue to improve the quality of our search services. Another was to protect our systems and our users from fraud …

Aku bermimpi suatu hari aku pergi ke surga dan seorang malaikat menemaniku dan menunjukkan keadaan di surga. Kami berjalan memasuki suatu ruang kerja penuh dengan para malaikat. Malaikat yang mengantarku berhenti di depanruang kerja pertama dan berkata, ” Ini adalah Seksi Penerimaan. Di sini, semua permintaan yang ditujukan pada Allah diterima”. Aku melihat-lihat sekeliling tempat ini dan aku dapati tempat ini begitu sibuk dengan begitu banyak malaikat yang memilah-milah seluruh permohonan yang tertulis pada kertas dari manusia di seluruh dunia. Kemudian aku dan malaikat-ku berjalan lagi melalui koridor yang panjang lalu sampailah kami pada ruang kerja kedua. Malaikat-ku berkata, “Ini adalah Seksi Pengepakan dan Pengiriman. Di sini kemuliaan dan berkat yang diminta manusia diproses dan dikirim ke manusia-manusia yang masih hidup yang memintanya”.
