Like the park mentioned earlier, the web can be a wonderful place to play. There are potential harms lurking in cyberspace. Evils to watch out for while exploring cyberspace include viruses and cookies. Cookies are both a necessity and a danger to many Internet users. A cookie is a file that is automatically downloaded onto your computer.
Most cookies are beneficial and help programs run more efficiently.
Before accepting cookies it is advisable to check both the cookie source and files to ensure they are from a reputable source. Cookies could potentially give control of your computer to a hacker on the outside. As the name implies, viruses are the other danger to be wary of in cyberspace. They come in many shapes and forms. Some of them are created intentionally, while others were created accidentally.
