·         Visit your virus-scan software manufacturer's Web site and install any virus updates that are available. Then run the software. The software may not be able to delete the virus, but it may be able to identify it.

There are still enormous sources of misinformation on the world wide web, so how can you determine what is good information and what is bad information?

The Internet is a great resource, but it is also a public forum, where anyone can make a claim or an assertion. If you find an article that provides relevant information for your research topic, you should take care to investigate the source to make sure it is valid and reliable.

It is your responsibility as a researcher to find and use the trustworthy sources. There are several ways to investigate your source.

Author

In most cases, you should stay away from Internet information that doesn't list an author. While the information you find may be true, it is more difficult to validate information if you don't know the credentials of the author.

If the author is named, you will want to find his/her web page to:

• Verify educational credits
• Discover if the writer is either published in a scholarly journal
• Verify that the writer is employed by a research institution or university

URL

If the information is linked to an organization, try to determine the reliability of the sponsoring organization. One tip is the url ending. If the site name ends with .edu, it is most likely an educational institution. Even so, you should be aware of political bias.

If a site ends in .gov, it is most likely a reliable government web site. Government sites are usually good sources for statistics and objective reports.

Sites that end in .org are usually non-profit organizations. They can be very good sources or very poor sources, so you'll have to take care to research their possible agendas or political biases, if they exist.

For instance, collegeboard.org is the organization that provides the SAT and other tests. You can find valuable information, statistics, and advice on that site. PBS.org is a non-profit organization that provides educational public broadcasts. It provides a wealth of quality articles on its site.

Other sites with the .org ending are advocacy groups that are highly political in nature. White it is entirely possible to find reliable information from a site like this, as always, you should be mindful of the political slant and acknowledge this in your work.

Online Journals and Magazines

A reputable journal or magazine should contain a bibliography for every article. The list of sources within that bibliography should be pretty extensive, and it should include scholarly, non-Internet sources.

Check for statistics and data within the article to back up the claims made by the author. Does the writer provide evidence to back up his statements?

News Sources

Every television and print news source has a web site. To some extent, you can rely on the most trusted news sources, but you should not rely on them exclusively. After all, network and cable news stations are involved in entertainment. Think of them as a stepping stone to more reliable sources.

In determining good or bad information we must consider:

·         Most scientific papers or pdf file are the best source of information in the web even though it contains difficult words.

·         Most websites are not created equal and people and friends tend to provide either good or bad information for the reason marketing strategy among commercial websites.

Webpages with more citations and links or from more unbiased, reputable organizations, will provide with better and reliable information.

Today, it is a fact that a lot of Filipino women are into online GOLD digging. You know what it means, right? Suppose one of them is your sister who happens to be your family's breadwinner. What would you do on this matter?

When it comes to family business, I actually don’t care of what they are doing but as long as it is not bad or it is considerable and reasonable. But speaking of online gold digging and my sister is into that kind of activity and supposedly she is the breadwinner, I would really speak to her about my opinion and actually discourage her. For me online gold digging is actually not a good way of earning money for it is not consistent and also not that stable and money always depends on the mood.

                Gold digging is earning and accumulating money and wealth through sexual attractions. This activity is also a way to earn money for those who are economically low level and very lazy.  This activity also lowers an individual’s dignity. Playing with fire to earn money will not only destroy your life but also other people also who depends on you.

I would strongly advise her to find a good and stable job than having that online gold digging activity and if she won’t listen and change her mind, then I will not depend on her.
