This article is about the important of using an anti-spyware program. A lot of people only use anti-virus programs expecting it to cokpete the job, but an anti-spyware program is important.

This relates to ITGS because it includes all components. The stakeholders in this article are people that own laptops. The social and ethical issues in this are security. It has to do with spyware coming into your computer, and this invades ones privacy.

Try this little game

This is a cute little game ms brownstone. I'm pretty sure its for little kids who don't really have the greatest common sense. I think it could actually be very helpful for these kids who are first starting to surf the internet and open up their first e-mail accounts. I remember in 3rd grade i created my first e-mail, and i would get these e-mails. I usually had the common sense to not open these spam emails. However, as a child, I did not know how smart the senders were and i got fooled once and it led to a virus on my computer. Luckily enough, my dad could fix anything, and got rid of the virus and everything seemed okay. This game could have really helped at that time. However, it is still good that you posted it for us (bsge tech students) to look at because it gives us an idea on games that teach lessons, which could be useful.

This is funny. I did not intend to post this here. :-) It's for my 7th graders. Will try to redirect it. Thanks, Yuval, for the heads up.

RFID is a technology which can create many new possibilities, as well as build upon existing ones. The technology can be applied to a variety of scenarios, but concerns rise due to problems with privacy and lack of security as it has been proven that viruses can be stored on the small 128 character capacity of the RFID chip. These viruses can be used to exploit whatever it is that the technology is implemented in. This could potentially cause problems such as some tags not getting scanned, or even all tags not getting scanned. The risk increases in other scenarios such as airports, where RFID technology could be very useful for streamlining and organizing the baggage transport process, but a single virus and the whole thing would be disrupted. Just as with computers, I'm sure that people will eventually figure out a way to protect from RFID-bound viruses to implement them for great purposes.

"Although policy and processes were in place to facilitate the safe use of USB flash media, they were not being followed," Carey wrote. "Unfortunately, it was our bad IT hygiene that resulted in the ban of this all too flexible use of storage media." "
