There are many ways that you can practice gun safety in the house so that you never face an accident.

Making Your Emails More Secure With Digital IDs

Published by Sierra Monica P. on January 31, 2013 under Office

Did you know that normal emails are about as secure as sending a postcard? When you send an email, you are sending a message that is usually routed through several mail servers, each one easily capable of logging the contents of your email. If you care about your online security, then you will know that sending any kind of sensitive data via an email is asking for trouble. However, there are ways to make your email more trusted, and also encrypt your emails so that you can send sensitive data via email without worrying about people – or machines – reading your emails. If you use a digital certificate to secure your emails, the recipients of your emails can be sure that you are the person who sent it. If you have also encrypted the email, they can also be sure that no-one else has read it on the way.

By digitally signing your emails with a Digital ID, you are showing the recipients of your emails that they can trust you. The certificates that you can get are usually recognized by many popular email clients, such as Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird and so on. Read more

Bitdefender’s Complete Solution for Online and Offline Threats

Published by Sierra Monica P. on September 20, 2012 under Office

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Bitdefender for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you were to ask me about my favorite antivirus solution, I would answer it’s the one I’ve been using for three consecutive years, which I also recommend to friends, and that’s Bitdefender Total Security. Actually, my first Bitdefender version was Internet Security but after one year I switched to the complete solution for my computer.

My story began a few years ago, when I was working for a foreign company and the communication was done via email. Unfortunately, at some point, my computer got infected as I was downloading various things from the web, without using any protection. Basically, I had no antivirus solution installed, not even Windows Firewall, so it was my fault that I lost my email account and all the associated accounts. You guessed, it was a Gmail. It took several months to get my job back, because I had to wait for all the formalities to be finished, and in the mean time I was also lucky to win my first security software license, for Bitdefender Internet Security 2009, after participating to a contest. Since I learned my lesson the hard way, I’ve never connected to the Internet without an active security solution anymore.
