As we know, today's world is not safe and peaceful. Regional conflict, natural disaster, environmental pollution, economic crisis all threat our life every minute, which maks me feel anxious and unsafe. And recently I got the same feeling on the internet, the virtual world. Yesterday, I need to format my disk and reinstall operation system. After install the window xp, the computer asked me to install a large heap of patches, almost more than one hundred of patches. Or my computer could be attacked easily. It nearly taked me one day to install these so-called patches, and restared my computer several times. Is there no safe place in the world? Enven the internet can't survive.

I think no one is safe in the internet world.Even high security servers are get hacked.There is lot threats like virus spams frauds etc.We have to be more cautious while doing online transactions using a credit card.

i think is best that we don't treat internet as safe at all, because there are soo many scrams, and fakes out there that they look so much like real one too. And is hard to haunt back down someone that stole your account and things liek that, so the best is to always question whether is safe and not let guard down

I agree with you. There is no safe place. When it comes to internet, it best suits for no safe place. Anything can be happened in this internet. Even some persons can catch your personal mails or some may can access your bank accounts. The best way to get rid of these things is to make sure that you are using secure way.
There is no program that was perfect in all times. In the same manner, operating systems need to release patches to fix their bugs or some thing like that. To skip most of the patches, we can download latest service pack. Then we need to install only a few patches that are released of the release of the service pack. Thank you.
