If one listens to the news or looks on the internet security boards, it seems that the internet is full of bad guys trying to steal all of our information. I know that there are legitimate threats out there, and I take a lot of precautions. I have antivirus software, a firewall and adware/spyware removers. Even with all of this, I'm made to feel my PC isn't safe.
I don't doubt that there are very real threats out there. Just today my PC found a trojan horse in an exe. I know this is a security problem. However, the system worked. My AV stopped the trojan before deployed, before I ran the infected file. I had a potential problem, but it was caught before it became an actual problem.
What is the consensus out there? Am I really under attack at every turn and still vulnerable even with all my precautions? Or is the security threat a bit overblown and paranoid? I know that there are serious threats out there, I just have trouble believing that it's as pervasive as it's portrayed.
Is the threat of internet danger overblown?firewall
its all overblown for me.
I never got a virus, and many good firewalls/antivirus software are free nowadays.
Most of the hype you hear today are from mac users
