Internet Ghosts is a new term to add to your arsenal of Internet concepts, especially if you are involved in Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

1. The Retro Internet Ghost is a shell of a concept, a domain, or an idea that no longer exists in the real world. Despite dying, it still has remnants on the Web, for example the old website of a company that is no longer trading and caries many inbound links, thus appearng high in search engine rankings. A retro ghost site can be bought out by another business to capitalise on the ghost’s old reputation and build a new one, with ready-made SEO popularity. A great example of this is Internet flop boo.com, an ecommerce fashion startup that burned its way through £125 million ($ 188 million) in just six months in the late 90’s. It famously went bust in 2000, with its remaining assets being offloaded for about £2m. The ghost of boo – the domain boo.com was then launched as a travel website by Web Reservations International, with ready-made SEO links. It is a variation on what commercial lawyers call “good will”, but with the difference that it often remains floating in limbo until it is picked up and brushed up.

2. – This one is a little more spooky, and comes to be when users search for a term that doesn’t exist on the Internet, usually because it is commonly misspelled, or is a new term that came to be through a campaign, a celebrity statement, or an event that brought it to public consciousness all of a sudden – whereas it was not known before.

a. The public starts to search for a term on the Net, but can’t find it.

b. SEOs and spammers notice the new search trend, and immediately create sites specifically designed to trap the traffic to the new or mistaken term.

c. The public goes to these SEO and spam sites, but can’t find meaningful information, only the keywords and lots of Viagra advertisements and so on.

d. The pubic creates many more searches with the ghost terms, a demand that fuels more spam sites, thus creating a growing cycle, feeding upon itself.

An example of such an Internet Ghost would be searches for “Olivia Dukakis”, created by users looking for Olympia Dukakis. This is covered this in more detail here, but for months people have been looking for information about “Olivia Dukakis”, and all they got was spam.

What Internet Ghost Busters do is create entries for these ghosts, investigating what the users really want and giving them this information. This breaks the Ghost-Abuse-Cycle, and allows the term to die peacefully.

Sometimes putting ghosts to rest also serves a wider, more news-worthy purpose, in cases such as the story of Entela Hysko, a woman who was unknown on the Net, until she died in a car crash with an Albanian media mogul. Within hours her name became the target of blog-spam, but no one outside of Albania knew who she was.

Okay I’m having trouble finding some of the better songs. So deal with these until the next set. Cecil- Pretty much failed by letting me hit him at the end. Golbez- Failed miserably. Shortest fight ever. Bartz- Noticed I was having trouble connecting attacks in the air. Decided to take the fight to the ground. Best decision ever. ExDeath- Nothing to say really. Moogle fail caused me to spam Omni v. 5 Terra- Poor Terra got pwnd again. She needs to realize that she can’t spam her shitty attacks with horrible recovery time without begging to get attacked. I’ll give her props though, she made me use my EX defense. Sneaky bitch. Kefka- I love fail summons.

In this technology driven world the use of computers and the internet is only increasing. However everyone is aware of one fact that internet use may invite some Trojans or malware to enter your Personal computer.

In this way you will get the feel of the software. There may be cases wherein softwares are easy to operate by your friends but you may find them difficult. So always try the software yourself as ultimatley you have to use it and not your friends.
•    Try to find out its effectiveness. You should know that your antivirus software protects your computers from which kind of threats. Some of the most common threats to your computer include Spyware, adware, Trojans and worms. Besides giving protection against malware, your antivirus software should be able to uncover those malware threats.
•    Choose the most user-friendly antivirus software. Choose that software which has a user friendly interface. See whether the software comes with manual guide or not. Manual guide is good to have because in case you get any difficult in operating then you can always refer to the guide. Also know which support services the software provides like live chat service, call center, 24/7 online mail service or remote assistance.
•    Pick that package that does daily virus definition update. The more it updates its virus database the more you will gain protection from the latest virus attack.
•    Pick that software that has low system resources consumption. Know how much system resources will be required for operating of the antivirus software.
•    Look for multiple features in the antivirus internet security software. More the features, better it will be for your computer. Some of the add-on features and protection include firewall, spam blocker, anti key logger, anti screen grabber, and parental control.
So, all these points should be kept in mind while buying any antivirus software for your computer.
