I'm concerned about my pc's security. &nbsp;I was watching a Ted Talk on Fibonacci numbers and someone sent me a text message asking me about it!!!!!!!<br />
<br />
You do not have to even log-in to watch Ted talks so there is no registration on which I would have given out my cell phone number. &nbsp;I don't know how they got my number and was very surprised but I simply deleted it, after I wrote down the number. &nbsp;But, now I'm getting random text messages from that same phone number being sent to a group, three other total numbers. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I use Norton 360, always keep it updated and do routine cleaning/pc maintenance. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Is there other software I can use to check for a key-logger, or trojan horse and/or everything else. &nbsp;Is Norton not strong enough? &nbsp;Aside from simple personal preferences, are there other tested, proven security suites I should be using instead?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

A vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's information assurance. Vulnerability is the intersection of three elements: a system susceptibility or flaw, attacker access to the flaw, and attacker capability to exploit the flaw. To exploit a vulnerability, an attacker must have at least one applicable tool or technique that can connect to a system weakness, known as the attack surface. Vulnerability management is the cyclical practice of identifying, classifying, remediating, and mitigating vulnerabilities. Other vulnerabilities include security risks, security defects and constructs in programming languages that are difficult to use properly.

Vulnerabilities

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.

Spyware is software that aims to gather information about a person or organization without their knowledge and that may send such information to another entity without the consumer's consent, or that asserts control over a computer without the consumer's knowledge; it has also come to include programs that engage in various kinds of electronic fraud. Anti-spyware is software that removes or blocks that software; some common vendors include Malwarebytes, McAfee, Spybot-Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware and BitDefender.
