In Reality, Spyware is always a threat
I received a spam email the other day and the subject said "Tired of reality shows? Make your own!" Of course I deleted it and proceeded to go about my online chores, but later that email got me thinking, what if there was a 'Online Safety' reality show? Hear me thru ok?
There would be contestants.... Say on a sunny south sea island beach, and each contestant has to accomplish a variety of tasks to win. You would get to vote one or more contestants off the show if they were too good or maybe a ringer. The same for the really dumb ones,after all, it would have to be exciting to keep the viewers interested.
So the basic task would be to succeed in staying safe online while surfing the web, and completeing various online challenges. For example, they would have to insure the computer given them was secure.... Ya know, updated with the latest from MS, etc. Then they would have to get online and insure their provider was also credible and choose which browser they want to use too.
Oh, don't forget their anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall programs, gotta make sure those work. Now they are ready for the competition. They would have to send and receive, and reply to emails.
