Computer-Oriented Society

I believe the greatest rick in a computer-oriented society will have to be the issue on "Security". The biggest risks with our computer today is being infected by a computer virus. Computer viruses are to change the way our computer operates. These computer viruses can be attached in many different programs such as; downloads from the internet. But a computer virus can also get into our PC system by emails attachments. Thats why they say to never open up an email that does not look unfamiliar.

Other Security risks that are becoming a problem is "identity theft". It is mainly when someone obtains your identity and uses it to purchase materials. Identities can be stolen online or even offline. They can still your identity from online databases or even from computer viruses. Other forms of identity theft can be know as "Phishing". When identity thieves send fraudulent emails to obtain your social security and other identity information. A good way to prevent any security problems is to purchase a AntiVirus to protect you and your PC with an security risks.
