In olden days the only means for transmission of message was the peogion, it has been tranformed to post,,, But from the 20th century the modern era arises and all olden means of transmission eloped, their place has beeen taken by the only fastest way, i.e., INTERNET..
Every coin has two faces one is +ve and one is -ve, internet have the same too...
to measur your security or how secure you are, You have to follow this steps of precaution which makes you feel safe from Viru & Hackers:
1. Stop using internet explorer and make the switch to opera, it's more secure plain and simple.
2. Get spy bot search and destroy or spyware doctor and immediately update it..
3. Get Adaware SE and immediately update it.
4. update ur Antivirus.
5. If or when your antivirus scan comes across anything search for that file name in your registry and delete it.
6. Make sure your firewall doesn't have strange exceptions.
7. If you suspect anythinf that is going wrong with your computer is the action of the stalker, on a more secure system change all password.
8. If your system has been specifically targetted and hacked you can never be 100% sure that your system is no longer compromised so start with 7, make backups of personal fire walls on the infected system and format & re-install Windows..
Good Luck..

Thank you very much for your suggestions, but i think they are not the most important, because the safety is not only about your computer system, but also about persons themselves, dont give out your personal info such as your real name, tel number, address and so on.
Try to protect your computer and yourself at the same time :)

i have been a mac person for 15 years.
my mac broke down and i bought a laptop with windows.
let me tell you that i have never felt so much hate for these freaks that have nothing better to do then mess with your computer. i never had virus software on my mac and feel that it is just another expense with windows.
this computer i am on has been in the shop getting fixed so i pulled an old laptop out and went on and got a virus. i was so mad. my virus software never picked it up and my spyware did but could not get rid of it.
i have never see anything like this in my life.
can you tell i am mad??
i feel better now. : )
