Overall I have to answer the unit question which is how can shop me made effective? I have to investigate and search for research that can help me answer the questions and understand what makesshopping more effective.

What do you need to shop online?

The things you would need to shop online are internet and something to get onto the internet.

ADSL is the most used broadband internet connection and you would also need a fast modem, router and a micro filter to get it. If you have Androids you should get ADSL broadband onto your telephone line. This would mean that your phone line would have to be upgraded and this is known as line activation.

The micro filter plugs into your phone socket. The router is a small plastic box that looks like an antenna. This will not cost a lot.

For the modem, there are three types such as the ADSL USB modem, an ADSL router and an ADSL Wi-Fi router.

A Wi-Fi router can connect too many computers at once; it also lets several computers connect to the internet at once. A Wi-Fi router plugs into your phone socket and makes a Wireless Local Area Network also known as WLAN. You can use two separate pieces of equipment, but a joint piece is more suitable. Your computer would need a Wi-Fi adaptor to connect to the network. You could also buy a Wi-Fi adaptor. You could use a dongle to connect to the internet and it is possible to put in a wireless card in your computer but this would mean opening it up.

An ADSL router is almost the same as a Wi-Fi router. An ADSL router uses cables to connect to your computer but this means you would need to stay in one place.

An ADSL USB modem is a fast router. You can only connect it to one computer it also has cables connected to it. There are two types; a USB version and something called a PCI card. The first one is easier to set up, because it plugs into a USB port, but the second one goes into your computer and would need opening up.

Cable

You would need cables to connect to the internet, as I have explained in the previous paragraph that some routers would need cables. You could use a cable modem or you could connect to the laptop using the set-top box you use to get cable TV.

Satellite

Satellite broadband is the only way of going online in most areas. You would have to have a satellite dish or change the satellite TV dish you already had. You would also have to connect a DVB modem to your computer.

There are two kinds of satellite broad bands and the first way is that one satellite system downloads quickly but then it will upload slowly. The second way was that it allows you to send and receive information from the satellite dish; but it can also be slowed down. This is determined by the weather conditions.

Mobile or 3G

A mobile or 3G offers broadband without a permanent telephone line. 3G is supplied by the mobile phone networks and it also uses the same signals as mobile phones. This would mean that you would need a small portable USB modem. Also known as a dongle or a data card; this is also known by a different name such as the PCMCIA card in a laptops

Fiber optics

Instead of sending signals through phone wires, fiber optics are very thin glass wires that have sensitive lights sent down them. This would mean that you could get faster internet that is way quicker than ADSL. What does the shop need to offer online shopping?

A shop needs a data base to control all there staff taking. If there are complaints, an online shopping website needs ways to refund their customers money. A shop needs to offer a variety of different things as their customers would like a multiple of products to buy. The other reason for this is because the more appliances and products the online shopping website has the more customers they will get.

The online shop needs to offer their customers a full stock of appliances and products so they can get what they need. It is extremely important for an online shopping website to offer very high security and care. This is because the online website needs to gain their trust for them to purchase a product from their website.

The more customers’ trust they gain the more the news of their website being one of the best will spread around and the website will be well known; this would mean many customers will purchase things from their website and they will gain a lot of money.

How can hackers steal either your money or the shops money while shopping online?

Hackers can steal your money by sending you lotteries and prizes as well as emails promising you loans and or a lot of money. Hackers can find out your bank information or personal information by sending you spoofed emails. Hackers will copy a payment page from varies websites and send it to you. The person that has been sent these emails sometimes won’t even realize that there are not really from the actual website. From this they can find out your account information and your password combinations; and from all the information that they have figured out from your previous account may lead them onto your other personal information and other passwords. This may even lead them to your banking details. One of the most popular schemes is that hackers send you emails with attachments; and on these attachments are viruses. These viruses infect your computer a when the file is open or accessed.

What measurers can be used to prevent hacking?

Hacking can be prevented by using a random pattern of characters; as well as having a very long password. Phrases can be used to make very strong passwords such as “ The apple did not fall so far away from the tree” You would use the letter of every beginning word and remake it into a password such as, tadnfsfaftt.

If possible capitalize the nouns that have been used in the password; this would make it extremely hard for the hackers to find out your personal information. When you have chosen your password it would help if you included numbers, symbols, uppercase and lower case letters.

Never use the same password for every site; if you do use the same password, you then have to change your username. One other very important tip is that you change your password ever six months, this will help with safety. Create a separate email address for services that are attached to payment information. Use a specific credit card for purchasing products online, you should know how much money is in this credit card and monitor. You should always keep the password you have made up very confidential because this will help prevent hacking. Never make a payment when you are guaranteed something such as a loan or credit card. You should never respond to a phone call or email that you do not know anything about. Never make a payment to someone when you do not know the person very well or you do not know what their identity is. Always observe the way a letter has been formatted because some phishing emails are translated from other languages and might have poor grammar or have typing errors. If the hackers send you a spoofed email and you have clicked on it and you have also clicked on the payment information page you should immediately change your password. If you had given your credit card information quickly inform your credit card company and tell them about has just happened. Tell them to delete your credit information so that hackers will not be able to find information in your account.
