HTTP AND HTTPS

Popular sites like Facebook, or others who ask you to disclose your information may put your safety and your rights to privacy in danger.

Be careful what you reveal, like your personal details (give the phone to your friends if you like, but not to the friends of your friends..)

But do NOT REVEAL YOUR THOUGHTS POLITICAL, RELIGIOUS OR SALTED DETAILS ON YOUR LIFE, AND DO NOT make racist jokes and even benign.

Filter your preferences or hobbies especially if it is not trivial ...

Do not tell your problems with your boss or your company!

This information could hurt you for a future job application, especially if your future employer is willing to pay for information ...

In fact, everything you write on the Internet on sites like Facebook and many other dating sites will be kept indefinitely in a database that is inaccessible to you.

You can never erase what you once revealed. Anything you disclose will remain in the database even if it no longer appears on your account and possibly hurt you.

Do not say you're going on vacation and especially do not specify a date, because your address with your name and city you live is easy to know ... just using the Internet.

If you do so is an invitation to burglary of your home while you are away.

Never forget that Facebook make a fortune by selling your information to companies who want and are willing to pay.. It's written in the contract that you must accept and it is legal in California and is located the place of business of Facebook, you've read?

Facebook and other dating sites have an interest in what everyone talks with everyone! Their websites are worth billions, because they sell your personal information to those who are willing to pay and they may be forced to disclose to the police!

So we find more and more!

Your personal tastes, your sexual fantasies or other, your hobbies, your job, your love life, the vagaries of rascals your girlfriend was watching you and I guess you will not appreciate you sell your secrets to strangers, companies selling at retail or even the police ... If you value your privacy do not distribute your personal data, or other amorous ...

A tip, banish these sites from your life or keep them just to post pictures (and still) ...

Putting the web photo of your boat, your horse, your toys and luxury you attract the envy of thieves ...

Even if you do not put your address on Facebook I can find it in 5 minutes with a photo of your house! And how much you paid, and how to get there and when. etc etc...

And do not even do veiled threats to anyone, even men in public or politicians. It's a safe bet that someone will forward your messages to 911 or the safety of your region.

You post pictures of your toddler fresh, cute: it may attract predators. Have you thought! (especially if in addition, you mention what school he attended ....).

There is no longer so for sadistic or sexual predator or other crazies to choose the sex, age, and the smile that excites and help themselves ....

Do not expose your young child to the danger!

I have just received an offer to Facebook: 60% discount to reach even more friends! .. beautiful bargain. REMEMBER NOTHING IS FREE IN THIS WORLD DOWN! EXCEPT CERTAIN  SOFTWARE WITH HOPE THAT YOU BUY THE MORE COMPLETE MODEL ...

Ah! I forgot the famous little click "I love" on websites. If you click it, you view all the details of your site in full view of everyone, even if you chose not to do ... click on "I LOVE 'up your Facebook account show ...

How "clean" an email before responding or re-transmit including mine!

These tips are from experts in computing, Director Office of Corporate Computers. They apply to all of us who send e-mails.

Read this brief procedure, even if you are convinced that they, and practice the correct method to send messages via the Internet.

Do you know how to re-send a message that we sent you:
50% of us know, but the other 50% do not.

Each time you re-send a message you convey information on people who have got the message before you, their names or nicknames, but especially their email address. As is often the message is forwarded to others, the names and addresses from deep, and snowballed. When spyware gets on this list, it will reach all those who comprise it, including yourself. You should know that these programs can become embedded in our intruder messages between their departure and arrival.

Some "recover" these places to sell them, or they send you an email for you to visit their site, earn 5 cents Euro per visit, but you're trapped!

HOW CAN YOU STOP IT?

Just a few basic precautions:

1) When you forward a message, after making a left click in the "Submit", that's where you have to remove all names and email addresses of people who have already received the message. You "black out" and delete with the Delete key, or if you prefer, delete one letter, retreating gradually. All ways are good, but it is imperative to remove the names and addresses of any person other than yourself, and anyone to whom you send the message. Another method is faster and "cleaner" is to copy the text into memory, open a blank letter and paste the text into it.

Only the text or the "Link" to re-send must appear on the page.

You can add your own text, ex.: Good Day, and your signature, but again it is essential to remove all names and email addresses of those who appeared earlier on this page.

2) When you make a consolidated shipment of mail to many people, first you've got to be a "group" in your scrapbook, but above all, do not place your address in the "A" or "Cc" Instead, look at the habit of using the box "Bcc" (blind carbon copy) sometimes referred to as "Bcc". (from English-language server) that mark the messages of "undisclosed recipient".

In this way, the ONLY person you will write your name and address, but not those of others. Nobody can meet these addresses. It is obvious that if you want the recipients are all aware of the people you send this message, do not use this provision, but be aware that it carries a risk ...

3) In the subject line, remove all abbreviations such as "FW" or "No" or "Rep" or other, but you can rename the subject if you wish.

4) Always use the "Submit" button, the page where you read your message, you will avoid to the caller having to go through all the other pages previously addressed. UNLESS THIS IS IMPORTANT (for example a business).

5) Have you ever received an e-mail as a petition? There is a list of names, and we ask you to add your last and re-send this message to 10 or 15 people in your address book. Mail this may be re-transmitted and re-re-sent to infinity, and thus to reunite hundreds of names and email addresses. In fact this petition is worth a few dollars or a few Euros for a professional "SPAM" because of Names and Email Addresses "truth" that compose it.

If you really want to defend the petition, made a personal letter to the initiator, it will carry more weight than a list of names that can be invented from scratch, but coincidentally, the name and address initiator never figure there...

Do not think that when writing this mail will be taken up effectively by any particular Sté ...

It is impossible if we do not send copies directly to company mentioned.

6) The message is the most detestable person who asks you to send your email to 5, 10 or 15 people, and if you do, you will come a blessing of any kind, or else you will see something your screen, or else you will receive an outright case of champagne ... Be certain that nothing of this will happen ....

This kind of mails back regularly every year ... Only one attitude to have:

Immediate destruction without compromise.

Anything funny happen on your screen, you will not win the lottery.

Do not be superstitious on the Internet: it is bad luck!!

7 °) ¾ + alerts are hoaxes ! If you insist: Before you try to forward a message alert on any virus, a search of person, or the spread of a tall tale, there is a website flipping through mandatory in France:

http://www.hoaxbuster.com/

or search Google the subject of the letter and add the word Hoax (Hoax) to research them first. You'll be spoiled for choice / select Hoaxbuster.

This site lists, analysis and information on the veracity of the contents of these messages:

TRUE or FALSE!

If they are real (extremely rare) you can follow them if you wish, but with the basic precautions listed at the beginning of this text.

Please, do not re-transmit false alarms ... Check!

8) Beware of attachments you send, those whose reference file ending in ". exe" (executable = software) are the most vulnerable and often destroyed automatically by many antivirus. If you are certain of their "healthy" and you absolutely want to send someone to take care of the "Zip" (compress) your file will be transported safely...

MY ADVICE this to take away any worries, it works better than any antivirus! ...

The virus (which is also a software program (. exe) are easily sent in attachments (. exe) If this scares you, download "sandbox". 1 MB software that makes use of "cat box. "It's actually a small virtual machine that reproduces the main files needed to play files. (false registry, file false windows acting as a double airlock. If you happen to have a virus No problem! The vital organs of your computer are not affected (including the registry). Just throw the box at the basket with everything in it and open another sandbox .... The Free software only allows you to open a "sand box" at a time but that's all you need because you can open whatever you want with it (internet, free software from unknown sources, email, attachments, etc. ...) no more worries! (use the free version (only one box at a time). If you want to open Sandboxie done right click on your mouse icon usual and choose "open sandbox ". It everything.

In English, with Sandboxie you can see a graphic / animation explaining how it works:

http://www.sandboxie.com/

One thing to remember. If you save your photos in Sandboxie and your box gets dirty or virused, you should delete it and you lose the contents (without affecting the rest of the files). Do not forget to save your personal files and software right recognized in the REAL computer (from the hard drive C or D) and not in the cat box.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

What is SPAM?

By definition they are unsolicited.

SPAM  are ads...

How do they know your address?

They collect the addresses in messages you send to your friends en masse, jokes, chain of miracles or most interesting themes in. pps (power point).

Someone collects these addresses and after interchangent and sell these lists with other spamers.

And emails to save a child from cancer?

ALL of these emails that ask you to send to 10 friends, are lies.

Delete them. NO COMPANY (Microsoft, for example) MAKES MONEY, NEVER, for you to return these messages.

DO NOT RESPOND TO EMAIL IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE SENDER! NEVER!

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The Chains


There is no little girl named Amy Bruce who is dying of cancer and even less a foundation that wants to help or give by way of the Internet!

This type of email is easily verifiable on sites like

www.hoaxbuster.com

or

http://www.wish.org/home/frame_chainletters.htm

You still believe in his stories of miracles if you send to 10 friends?!

-----------------------------------------------------------

About petitions

... chains .... etc. ... good to know then finished .........., such shipment ........ Why petitions, chain letters, write your name ... etc.? Carefully read the following statement, it could save you end up with multiple spam that will invade your computer without you even noticing. Here are some tips that we should all take regularly. If you're wondering "WHY" I did not return a message requesting an action as: "If I do not hear from you, I know that ..." or "See how many flowers you we will return ...», or "Transfer this document to 10 people in the next 5 minutes, if something bad happen to you", etc.. etc.. What follows is the "why ":

1) Whenever you see a message that asks you to transfer it to 10 people or more, or signing a petition, if luck or bad luck or other threats reach you, there are strong possibilities that the said message cache a spy program that traces the "micro automatic backups (cookies) and all the email addresses of the correspondents to whom you transfer the document. The author of the original message that included the spy program will receive a copy each time the message will be retransmitted, and it will then be able to extract all the addresses 'active' emails so he can use for sending of spam, or sell these lists to other "polluters" of the Internet.

2) Almost all the emails that ask you to add your name to an existing list of names and forward this email to others, are similar to that mass mailing, which goes back several years, which asked people to send their business cards to this little boy from Florida who wanted to break a Guinness record for the largest number of business cards received. The people who design them to handle your feelings by using your pity and your big heart by creating messages that will reach you. Who would not help this little girl who is dying from cancer or lost this little boy we found in a underdeveloped country? All that this kind of email is, it's a way to obtain email addresses and micro backups (cookies) to resell this information to the "Tele bargainers" and polluters of the network and thus validate addresses active email for their personal benefit. You can do with your family and your friends a BIG favor by sharing this information with them, you'll give them a great service, and you will be rewarded in so doing not receiving thousands of "spam" in the future!

If you sent (by transfer) such emails in the past, you've probably contributed to the swarm of spam you receive today! Do yourself a favor and STOP adding your name to this list, whatever the genre or the attraction that can give you. You may think that you are supporting a great cause, but this is NOT the case. In fact, you will receive tons of spam later! In addition, we are helping the polluters to make a fortune! Does not facilitate their task! You should know that lists of names to petitions by e-mail are NOT acceptable to Parliament or any other organization.

To be valid, petitions must contain signatures HAND and the full address of each petitioner. If you decide to send this letter to your correspondents (By Transfer), delete the address of the person who sent you this email (above before the start of the message) and the advertisement below, which s' added to each shipment. Also consider using the Bcc (blind carbon copy invisible) to not create you as a list of names you give to everyone.

Thank you, thereby avoiding the proliferation of pollution.

Do not forget to install a good anti-virus. For the firewall, the one included in Windows can be good. And enable updates to the Windows Automatic Updates.

---------------------------------------------

HTTP AND HTTPS

Finally, I advise you to be attentive to the sites you visit, especially when you're shopping online, be vigilant, payment must be secured when you enter the references of your payment. The address in the browser must have the following form: https: / / etc ... and / or a closed lock should be present at the bottom of the window of your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox ...).

The secure HTTPS page should open automatically when you are directed to a page where they ask you your personal data (password, user name, account number or credit card (above), Check well before register your address data in the web browser, must start with: https ://...... This means that the site is in communication with your browser using the secure protocol. In other words It is impossible for anyone to see on your computer to your conversation with the website ... What is the difference between http and https? (see www before.) HTTP ("Hypertext Transport Protocol") is just a way of say it is a protocol (for example a language or a manner of speaking) for information transmitted between Web servers and clients .. What's good for a visit (reading). Example:

http://www.pamplemousserestaurant.com

Secure pages are opened by the website that require personal information. No need to type https in the address bar, it will not work.

Here is a secure page of the BNP, I do not grapefruit because I do not take credit cards via internet):
