10 reasons why you should belong to a dedicated internet forum

The internet and world wide web is full of “free” information. Whenever you want to know about something, just going to Google search, typing some terms and that instant Google gives you over 1,000 answers or topics. But with all that information overload, how easy is it to get the relevant information? How accurate is the information? Who is there to check for accuracy and relevance of the information? In short, Google assumes a lot. It is like someone trying to teach you how to swim, and instead of taking you through step by step, instead he throws you right in the midst of an ocean expecting you to figure out how to swim, you might learn, or drown.

This is where internet forums come in. What is a forum? an Internet discussion group for participants with common interests. Most consumer based websites are now founding their own forums to serve their clients better, to target more clients and to educate their clients on their products and services. They are not taking chances with the recent information overload all over the internet.

So why should you belong to an internet forum?

THE ICT World and the MENACE of COMPUTER VIRUS

What is a Computer Virus?
A computer virus is a program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without your knowledge and runs against your wishes. Viruses can also replicate themselves. All computer viruses are man-made. A simple virus that can make a copy of itself over and over again is relatively easy to produce. Even such a simple virus is dangerous because it will quickly use all available memory and bring the system to a halt. An even more dangerous type of virus is one capable of transmitting itself across networks and bypassing security systems.
It can be a nightmare scenario for any computer owner: your beloved machine begins to act strangely and before you know it, you’ve lost complete control and you realize too late that you have a virus. One of the “good” things about computer viruses is that, in most cases, you know immediately when you have one.

ONLINE WORLD and the WORLD OF SCAMMERS: be informed

I still remember this very well. It was back in the year 2009 when I received an email from a “very beautiful lady” from Senegal who had befriended me on Tagged, one of the numerous social networking sites. She went ahead and told me that she is a Daughter of the late President of the country and before her father’s death, he wrote a will for her to inherit USD 900,000 (Kshs 72,000,000.00). But due to some political strife, it would be impossible for her to withdraw the money in her country.
As she told me, all she wanted was that I should help her to relocate to Kenya, assist her to transfer the money into my bank account, assist her to relocate to Kenya and since she was full of praises of how handsome I were (and I know I am!), she even claimed to have fallen head over heels in love with me and was willing to spend the rest of her life with me in Kenya. Well, the prospect of double blessings, a strikingly beautiful young lady with awesome riches and a miraculous deliverance from a low level citizen to a first class Kenyan was too enticing! I thanked God for that but my hope was to be rudely cut off, with some loss as I am going to reveal in this article. Read on…
