I believe that the rejection of the proposed by Interior Minister Schäuble online survey in the population is unanimous (which raises again the question of the state of our democracy). Whether politically rather set left or right, would probably hardly a citizen, that its data are spied by a public authority and used her. Whether private correspondence, pictures, music, data tables or something ... These are private matters, and so it should stay! Of course, to protect the population against possible Islamist terrorism is necessary, but not this way. I personally would have no objection to such steps in absolute individual cases, but what Schauble is trying to achieve, is the uncritical public access sites on any PC that is connected to the Internet. Thus one could quickly come into the crosshairs of investigators, whether you have saved with something questionable on his system or not. These days, if any version of Windows already offers the possibility of each individual user of a computer to create an individual profile (and therefore the data with other users protect), the state should not correct this fundamental idea may overturn easily. But well, for doing so however, has taken action! Unfortunately, I am just a normal user, But a few Grundsätzlichkeitnen safety of his computer should know everyone. However, I have also asked many times how the whole is to function at all. The smuggling of trojans, etc. should not be so easy.
applications / protection software
who has a connection to the Internet should, in principle, have at least a virus scanner and a Firewall. The virus scanner protects against the penetration of files (such as attacks on TCP / IP port, email attachments, etc.), while the so-called firewall prevents direct access to ports . The whole way implies that you are on your system directories have released, for instance, is because other computers on your home network to access it. Have you shared any directories, the data is already protected more securely.
operating system and files
Who is running Window XP / Vista on the road should adjust its operating system so that it automatically receives all updates and patches (Settings -> Control Panel -> Security Centre - Automatic Updates). This should be set to "active". Another safeguard is still used far too little, namely the use of passwords in files. Many programs permit the addition of files to be protected with such a password. So let's assume you have sensitive corporate data in an Excel file, or a lewd love letter that is to see no one else ... Even if a hacker has provided to work in the system, such passwords are generally not to crack, and protect the sensitive content. If you can think of no passwords, so you can find here an online generator . But be careful: Write!
virus scanner
There are a number of useful virus scanner. Windows XP comes (I think) by default, with McAfee, which I like not so personal. A recommendation I can give for AntiVir, which is free for home users. The software's here: http://www.free-av.de/ . I use this for three years and there have already been blocked various attacks from the Internet successfully.
firewall
To select the firewall give it to the course under windowx XP / Vista default firewall included. This is always better than none!
rootkits
A relatively new threat from the Internet are so-called rootkits . These are hidden in various data to alter the program code and open up backdoors to spy on PC systems. The above AntiVir is the way recently, with a rootkit browser.
spyware and malware
Spyware and malware are brought out through cookies and Web sites in the darker corners of the Internet. A good protection against this, the free Ad-Aware by Lavasoft. You can download it here: http://ad-aware.softonic.de/ . Depending on the security needs of the program should be in a PC system daily to weekly basis to keep a lookout for pests system scan.
Javascript Javascript is a programming language that can be built into Web pages. Besides a few useful features Javascript can also be bad exploits inject on a system. For this purpose, it must be said that Mozilla Firefox is inherently more secure than Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Moreover there is the Firefox extension NoScript that allows to classify certain websites that you trust (and so allow the Javascript, for example for online banking), while the version of JavaScript can be suppressed to other websites.
It is ultimately to assume that this whole debate is about the online search probably a blunt sword and will probably never be a reality. For one thing, because it is technically more difficult than it is currently shown to the public (see Safety above), partly because there is a wide political front there, and also several constitutional concerns seem appropriate. The debate gives the impression that Interior Minister Schäuble wants to use the topic in the first place, in the event of a terrorist attack in Germany a to have clean bill : He has drawn attention to the threat that so far one could give him no reproaches, or even Kosequenzen political demand. We will see how this develops this theme.
