On Anti-Virus
|
| Everyday, new Internet viruses are being invented. Hackers sometimes specifically target on individual email users or email systems to attack and cause big troubles to the whole network. In some cases, viruses, through opening non-scanned emails and attachments, intrude your own computer. So when a virus-bearing computer sends out emails to other Internet users, either within the system network, or outside the network, the virus will be transferred to another. The spread can be devastating as there are numberless email transfers being done 24x7. So, isn't it vital to have well-rounded anti-virus software? It is good that our Bizsure can provide you with the anti-virus function on email protection. You can feel free using our email system because all incoming emails are scanned on not only viruses, but also spam. It is a 100% anti-virus guarantee. If you receive any viruses in our Bizsure system, you will have your one month money back. Isn't the protection secure enough? You basically lose nothing by trying this new service, while you win business security.
Besides, we advise our users not to use other public email systems in the workplace. Since other public email portals may not have such a high level security on anti-virus and anti-spam, we will suspect that some viruses may get in to the mailbox. Once the user click the email, or open the attachment, the virus can either shut down your computer operation, or it automatically sends emails with this virus in to your colleagues or customers in the address book. As we trust that internal mails should be 100% safe, we do not want any uncertain circumstances to happen. That is why we do not suggest users to check their personal emails in the workplace.
In order to prevent getting viruses from websites, we also recommend our users not to open all unknown websites. Sometimes, you may not even know if your computer or system is attacked. Minor problems may exist, and intrude your computer minute by minute. When a bigger problem is shown, the computer can already be in a dying edge. |

IMAP vs. POP3 |
| IMAP is a newer version of email software over POP3. As the same as POP3, IMAP allows you to check emails offline. Emails messages are saved onto users personal computer so email messages can be retrieved even offline anytime. This software also enables users to check emails online. All emails are saved to online servers. So users can travel to everywhere and check their emails with an Internet connection. In addition, IMAP is optimized to display a list of your messages right away. Users do not have to wait for emails to show up. It is fast and efficient. Another merit of IMAP is that it can support email checking even on cell phones, PDAs, and other devices that have the premium storage. IMAP, working with SpamShield Pro, blocks out all the junk mails.
In contrast, POP3 is not as convenient for users as IMAP. Nowadays, people travel around for various purposes. One who is using POP cannot check emails from a computer other than the one he is personalized to use. POP only stores emails to the personal computer. Emails are not backed up automatically so users have to back up by themselves. This is rather inconvenient in contrast to IMAP. So, our Bizsure which is using IMAP really has the point. |

HTTP:// vs. HTTPS:// |
| HTTPS is the abbreviation of Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol. It coexists with HTTP, which is a less secure protocol. HTTP is commonly used when Internet users browse websites that do not require any personal information. There is no big deal of being peeped on general searches or web surfing even though it is not a good thing after all. However, it is more important not to have third parties peep on your email addresses and passwords, credit card numbers, membership login information, and subscription information. This is unsafe for any users as the leak of this information can lead to such as business losses, and the theft of credit card information for lending.
Thus, the HTTPS has its exclusive responsibility on occasions when personal information has to be submitted to a page or pages for further functions to be taken. To have the site automatically switch from a page with URL link starting with HTTP to another page with HTTPS and a little icon of a lock at the lower right, the site itself should get a security certificate, the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Certificate. The SSL Certificate works as a group of safeguards. This is similar to the case that when essential persons come up to a venue, safeguards would come up and block the passers-by to witness the course of action. In the virtual world, the high bit encryption is like those safeguards. They encrypt the numbers and letters so outsiders cannot immediately view what the users have typed in. And, if the malicious third parties aim to look at the information, they have to afford an expensive set of intelligent machines, with high speed, to decode the letters and numbers in thousands of days.
Thus, HTTPS reflects you the security of the webpage. Learn from it. If a page requires personal information to access other pages, but does not have the URL with HTTPS or a lock at the lower right hand corner, DON'T put anything there!
