    How to Tackle Such Activities?


    An important question arises that how can these crimes
    be prevented. A number of techniques and solutions have
    been presented but the problems still exists and are
    increasing day by day.

    Antivirus And Anti Spyware Software:


    ntivirus software consists of computer programs that
    attempt to identify, thwart and eliminate computer
    viruses and other malicious software. Anti spy wares are
    used to restrict backdoor program, trojans and other spy
    wares to be installed on the computer.

    Firewalls:
    A firewall protects a computer network from
    unauthorized access. Network firewalls may be hardware
    devices, software programs, or a combination of the two.
    A3/24/15
    network firewall typically guards an internal computer
    network against malicious access from outside the

    Cryptography:
    Cryptography is the science of encrypting and decrypting information.
    Encryption is like sending a postal mail to another party with a lock code
    on the envelope which is known only to the sender and the recipient. A
    number of cryptographic methods have been developed and some of them
    are still not cracked.

    Cyber Ethics and Laws:


    Cyber ethics and cyber laws are also being formulated to stop cyber crimes.
    It is a responsibility of every individual to follow cyber ethics and cyber
    laws so that the increasing cyber crimes shall reduce. Security Software
    like Anti Viruses and Anti Spy Wares should be installed on all computers,
    in order to remain secure from Cyber Crimes. Internet Service Providers
    should also provide high level of security at their servers in order to keep
    their clients secure from all types of viruses and malicious programs.
