Computer games are much fun, so where can we get the information on game news, which games should we buy? There are many websites that contain much information about previous games and new games, those websites have many recommendations and information collection on games that might interest you.

The prices of computer games vary depending upon your location in the world, but I will specify some game sites that enable game prices comparison, which enables you to do your game prices survey (well see the survey that was done for you) and decide where to buy the computer game. Many websites enable you to purchase a computer game online with a secured credit card transaction or using a PayPal account.

Make sure before you place your credit card, that the website has a valid security certificate (SSL) that secured the details of your credit
card, so no hacker can find your credit card number, and use it to do transactions on your behalf. The PayPal option is more secured since only your login credentials are being transferred during the transaction, while the PayPal holds your credit card information behind secured doors, and your transaction using PayPal will be charged to the credit card which is connected to your PayPal account.

Now that we have reviewed the purchase options we have online to buy computer games let us see where can we find the games and prices of games out there on the web:

Game Stop – This one of the largest video game retailers. This website has a collection of over 6000 stores selling through it, from countries around the world, and designated to clients all over the world. There is a large collection of games, from different types of platforms.

BestBuy – This is a well-known network that also has a website that contains among many other products that are being sold at best buy,
there are also computer games (video games). There are computer games and other computer programs, at a fairly good prices :), as always it is recommended to check and compare the prices with other sources (that’s a good tip for any type of purchase).

Amazon – I am almost sure that almost anyone who uses computers knows of Amazon, a website that mostly used to sell and publish books, but today is offering many other products for sale. You can find many types and various computer games for purchase at a fair price.

Shopping.com – Another good website for the online purchase of computer games is the Shopping.com website. There are various computer games, and much to select from.

There are many selling websites around, online, and I am sure you will be able to find some other good ones, just remember to check that the page that collects your credit card information is legitimately secured with the proper SSL certificate.

We always want to be in control and some of us have information at home that we might want to be able to access remotely. Accessing the home computer remotely means that you connecting to the internet and want to be able to access your home computer and perform certain operations. Those types of operations have some effect on which tool to use since some of the tools enable a certain type of access and some take control of your own computer, so you could see the same screen of your home computer as if you are standing in front of your computer.

There are certain security measures that need to be understood. When we open access from the outside to our computer we actually open a door for someone (hacker) to access our computer, or to be able to do so. If the door would be closed and shut with a brick of the wall, then it is closed. But if we decide to make an opening, an external person can reach that opening, and might, of course, use it to do some harm, see our materials (in case they are confident – it might be risky) or spy on our actions, and maybe if we do not pay attention to see some important information like when we log-in to our bank account from home or place a credit card number on an online website to purchase something. If your computer is breached all of those actions and more can happen to your home computer.

The remote access tools are being divided to online programs, software programs. The online programs are programs which are using internet technology to enable the remote connection like the LogMeIn, GoToMyPC, TEAMVIEWER, WEBEX PCNOW, some of the support people use WEBEX technique to gain access to your computer, seeing your screen, with your permission of course (you initiate the session) and you can see everything the support person does on your computer. The software programs are tools that open access and enable the end-user (remote person) to take control of your home computer. Some of these programs are TightVNC, RealVNC, Symantec PCAnywhere, LAPLINK and there is a built-in application in Windows XP, called remote desktop (you can run it by typing on the start–>run MSTSC).

Some programs might require you to set a permanent IP (called Static IP), which means that you will need to ask your ISP for a permanent IP to your computer. The ISP will give you an IP, and you will need to configure your home computer’s firewall NAT (network address translation) which means you will have an internal IP translated to the IP the ISP gave you. The only IP a remote person (or anyone outside of your home) will be the ISP IP, which protects your internal IP (no one will know what your internal IP is they will only know the external IP that you set on your home computer firewall. That IP directs to your computer, and so there is a way to access it, with the correct tools, and of course only by knowing the access password.
