Today We had to find an article about HACKING! we need to find out why people hack and why do they do that? The article I used is Hacking for dollers.
First off I want to start off why do people hack other computers? According to this article they do it because they want to stole other people sercurity password by sending a program into their computer and get their information. you can also get hacked by downloading a softwere from a unknown website and when you download it you see that it comes with the softwere and plus with a unknows program , so whenever you start installing the program , it will start hacking and you see that your computer will get slow everyday , Thats why you need an anti-virus or an anti-softwere.
In this article I found some steps that you could actually protect you computer from those hackers out there. Here is some the ways that you use:
Harden your browser Upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox 2.0, which have additional security.
Eliminate spam Make sure that your antispam filter is up to the task of blocking phishing attacks.

Delete all your cookies so everything is protected.
Where do most of the hack programs come from?
Chinese Hackers release trojans and worms and they usually put into Microsoft office or Microsoft words , so when you install it , they can see whatever you do on your computer. Alot of people lost about $18 millions of money by getting hacked or scammed over internet. Many computers got shutdown compeletly. Because of these many people use internet explorer and mozilla because these programs have the most anti-phishing.
