What are needed for the Internet connection?

Nowadays, having a computer or laptop is not a luxury anymore as a few years ago. But computer or laptop without internet connection like vegetables without salt. Our daily needs require us to frequently connect to the Internet. Ranging from sending emails, chatting with colleagues and friends, create a blog, to update your facebook status

So what tools are needed to make our favorite computer or laptop connected to the internet?

Here is a checklist that needs to be prepared so that the computer is connected to the Internet safely:

• Internet connection can be obtained by signing up for "ISP" or Internet Service Provider. This can be a wired internet connection via telephone, for example: speedy or any other ISP services via telephone. Wireless connection, either via phone or wireless internet connection.
• Internet browser software. The most popular is called Internet Explorer version 7 or 8 ("IE"). The second most common browser is Mozilla Firefox. Other browser options, among others: Chrome, AOL, Opera, and Netscape.
• Anti-virus software, firewalls and anti-spyware. For example: Symantec / Norton or McAffee, Avira Antivirus, AVG is my personal favorite. This software will help protect the computer from viruses that scattered on the internet.
• Email client software. If you often use email and the need to archive email to be checked at any time, including when not online, email client software absolutely must possess. Some email client software that you can use are: Outlook or Outlook Express, or a free email client software such as thunderbird.
• stereo speakers, microphone and webcam.
• Opsional:  anti-spam software.
• Opsional: Censorware, to help prevent our children from content that is not supposed to be seen.

That list of devices that we need to connect our computer to the internet safely.
