Netiquette

"Netiquette" stands for "Internet Etiquette", and refers to the set of practices created over the years to make the Internet experience pleasant for everyone. Like other forms of etiquette, netiquette is primarily concerned with matters of courtesy in communications ( http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ia_nq.htm).

Rules of Netiquette
Rule 1: Remember the human. When you communicate electronically, all you see is a computer screen. You don't have the opportunity to use facial expressions, gestures, and tone of voice to communicate your meaning; words -- lonely written words -- are all you've got. And that goes for your correspondent as well.

Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards online that you follow in real life. Be ethical, breaking the law is bad netiquette. Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace. Whats perfectly acceptable in one area may be dreadfully rude in another. When you enter a domain of cyberspace thats new to you, take a look around.

Rule 4: Respect other peoples time and bandwidth. It's your responsibility to ensure that the time they spend reading your posting isn't wasted.

Rule 5: Make yourself look good online. Take advantage of your anonymity and know what your talking about and make sense. 4/22/12

Rule 6: Share expert

Rule 8: Respect other peoples privacy. Dont go through other peoples or colleagues email.

Rule 9: Don't abuse your power Knowing more than others, or having more power than they do, does not give you the right to take 4/22/12 advantage of them.

Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes Everyone was a network newbie once. And not everyone has had the benefit of reading this book. So when someone makes a mistake -- whether it's a spelling error or a spelling flame, a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer -- be kind about it. If it's a minor error, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before reacting. Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else(www.albion.com).

Computer Safety Tips

1) Use antivirus software and keep it up-todate. You should check for new definition updates daily. Most antivirus software can be configured to do this automatically. 2) Install security patches. Vulnerabilities in software are constantly being discovered and they don't discriminate by vendor or platform. It's not simply a matter of updating Windows; at least monthly, check for and apply updates for all software you use. 4/22/12

3) Use a firewall. No Internet connection is safe without one. Firewalls are necessary even if you have a dial-up Internet connection -- it takes only minutes for a non-firewalled computer to be infected.

4) Secure your browser. Many labor under the dangerous misconception that only Internet Explorer is a problem. It's not the browser you need to be concerned about. Nor is it a matter of simply avoiding certain 'types' of sites.

5) Take control of your email. Avoid opening email attachments received unexpectedly -- no matter who appears to have sent it. Remember that most worms and trojan-laden spam try to spoof the sender's name. And make sure your email client isn't leaving you open to infection. Reading email in plain text offers important security benefits that more than offset the loss of pretty colored fonts.

6) Treat IM suspiciously. Instant Messaging is a frequent target of worms and trojans. Treat it just as you would email. 4/22/12

7) Avoid P2P and distributed filesharing. Torrent, Kazaa, Gnutella, Morpheus and at least a dozen other filesharing networks exist. Most are free. And all are rife with trojans, viruses, worms, adware, spyware, and every other form of malicious code imaginable. There's no such thing as safe anonymous filesharing. Avoid it like the plague. 8) Keep abreast of Internet scams. Criminals think of clever ways to separate you from your hard earned cash. Don't get fooled by emails telling sad stories, or making unsolicited job offers, or promising lotto winnings. Likewise, beware of email masquerading as a security concern from your bank 4/22/12 or other eCommerce site.
