(in several different ways ...)


At about 76 percent of all phishing attacks, software represents the largest 
doorway that cybercriminals such as hackers use to enter computer usersÂ’ systems 
and steal confidential information, IT security experts say. One Cupertino, 
California-based security, storage and systems management solutions provider, 
Symantec Corp., recently reported that it is seeing malicious code grow at a record 
pace. In recent weeks, more and more home and small office computers have seen 
their networks compromised by Internet security attacks that gain traction 
through the devices that many use to make usersÂ’ home-surfing lives more 
portable: routers. In an effort to try and preempt the attacks, D-Link recently 
launched a new system that prevents malicious software by detecting whether 
responses are generated by humans or computers.
