And you need to keep on learning about the life in the digital and real worlds, and making sure you’re ready to handle the challenges.

If you’re ready to start, an excellent article from David Shamah of The Jerusalem Post gives a good almost step by step guide on what to do about the latest threat of drive-by pharming. If you haven’t already read up on the details elsewhere and would like to empower yourself to better security, read it.

But if you’re not really sure about Internet security, and don’t really know what to do, as just buying the latest 2007 Internet security packages still isn’t enough, please get help, whether from a genuinely knowledgeable friend, your local computer store or ‘come-to-you’ computer help services like Geek Squad in the US and Gizmo in Australia.

Otherwise there’s a chance that some of the spam you receive every day could be being sent in part by the botnet your own computer could be connected to if infected by malware/spyware/viruses/Trojan horses or something else.

And if you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem. Computer owners of the world – you each individually have the power to make sure your computer isn’t unwittingly part of the dark side.

Please – use that power with the great responsibility that Spiderman would counsel and collectively we can fight back against the online criminals that are trying to take control!
