Referring to thestar news paper, stated that KL a cyber zombie city, says US firm. I think main reason KL’s PC has been a target for the illegal spyware is because Malaysian are lack on basic computer knowledge. Most of the computer users in Malaysia are using pirated OS and they simply don’t know that which link will cause them harm with a click away.
Colleague of mine always fall in to trap when surf net, and install some spyware in their PC make their internet access slow and complaint to me, and I got their Internet explorer are full of toolbars and some even with unknown character installed as their IE title. And most of them are not IT people. This can be preventing by block thru firewall, but since management allows surfing net, and the firewall features is not subscribe to use in my company. So, we need to do in manually thru internet setting.
I think some guide line should provide to them when they browsing thru internet and remind them on danger of installing some spyware in their PC. I am doing that starting from this year. Hope can really work out in the near future.
from my observation,
ReplyDeletepeople use computer learn from people they meet in real life, and not by learning from reading help or online.
most of computer shop have similar ideology about computer.
