Porkchop Technology Review's

This review is about ESET Smart Security 4 an all in one security package and ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4, since it is the same as ESET Smart Security 4, except that it is missing the firewall and a few small other things.  I have been using NOD32 for awhile, just the anti-virus part of it, since they had no firewall back then, and it was always considered one of the anti-virus programs that used the less resources on a computer and had the highest detection ratings.  I always had a few doubts of NOD32 though comparing it to Norton, seeing as how would a small little program be such a great anti-virus program and Norton had to use all those resources to actually catch things and run background scans.  Norton’s 2009 product line and 2010 product line now focuses on resource usage, this is a big issue with security products, if it slows down your computer you are more likely to get angry and turn it off leaving you open to attacks.

Wireless security is important, the convenience of having the ability of using a laptop anywhere around the house and using multiple desktop computers without having to fish wires through walls and make holes and tripping hazards.  I still see wireless security a big problem, doing a local WiFi scan on my PlayStation 3 brings up instantly 5 unsecured wireless networks in the area, or some that are using WEP security which is obsolete.

This article is not about the delicious spam that comes in the can, this is about the spam that attacks your email, forums, and blogs.  Spam is the most evil thing on the Internet, I for example on this site get spam daily, but I use Akismet, a spam plugin for Wordpress that stops it.  I find it quiet amusing reading all the spam I get, usually its for that amazing medication called Viagra.  I don’t see how these companies see that most people do not read/care about spam, but I guess some people get fooled by it.  The worst case of spam are those emails you receive that say some guy overseas has passed away, and has left you a huge amount of money, with information for you to contact them.  I know most of you, will know this is bogus, but I also know some people will think it’s true and actually go ahead and follow up on it.  Always remember if it sounds to good to be true, its not true.  Also never reply to spam, you will get double or triple spam emails back.  Unfortunately there isn’t a lot you can do with spam emails, I use to back then, look-up the IP’s (whois) and send it to the abuse email there ISP’s have, but that does not work, since most of spam come from spoofed IP addresses, proxy’s, and botnets.  So its virtually impossible to get back at spammers.  The only thing you can do is flag them on your email program, install junk mail filters, they usually come with your security software, and ignore it.  The worst part about spam is that it affects the legitimate marketers, it virtually makes them impossible to actually advertise through email anymore, due to the spam that has ruined there reputations.  Email spam can be ignored it’s not that bad, but the worst spam I have seen is the message board spam, such as PHPBB for example, that spam, they register multiple accounts and spam your message boards, ruining them, and most likely the only thing you can do to combat it is making it, approve by admin each user, which takes time.  Spam is also ruining places like Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter, a lot of people go on there and use it to have fun, but then the spammers see that, there are a lot of people there, great place to spam everyone.
