Addressed to  savvio,  savvy

Did you know that a hacker could be watching you right at this very moment, reading exactly what you are reading right now, and you didn`t even know they were there or how they got in?
A hacker can get into your bank account if you save your password on your PC. They can `break` your password using commonly available programs and then change your passwords to your banking accounts and PC effectively locking you out. But they don`t even need to `break` your password, if they load the right program on your PC. They can, and do :
steal and delete files,
load dangerous programs onto your PC,
involve you in computer crimes.

Breaking In : A hacker wants to know your IP address and what operating system you are running. Most home PCs run Windows, so home PC hacking is easy because there are many known Window `bugs` that can be taken advantage of. Most home users have never worried about computer security.

Hackers look for commonly know system weaknesses (bugs or holes in software). The operating system, like Windows, has bugs, as do other software like browsers, such as Microsoft`s Internet Explorer. They scan your open ports looking for a running program that they can take advantage of. Scanning is like a burglar who checks all the doors and windows of your house to see if any are unlocked.
**
Solution : A valid licensed Anti-attack software or firewall from a reputed solution provider.
