| From the article: " A VPN creates a secure connection to a private network, such as your company network, using the infrastructure of a public network like the Internet. Once you have established this virtual connection to your office network, you can access all of its resources (data files, applications, printers, etc.) just as if you were back in the office using your desktop PC. This is a very efficient and cost effective way for remote users to maintain their productivity, while still retaining their mobility. " |

| From the article: " Every once in a while a Web site asks me if I want to load an ActiveX control. I usually click the X button to close the window instead of the OK button, but sometimes I have to allow it, such as when I use Symantec's free online virus scan. The thing is, I am worried that having these on the computer could leave me vulnerable for attack later, so how do I get rid of them? " |
