Benefits
The internet is the main global information highway. It provides an extremely wide variety of information. For example if your 20 year vacuum cleaner breaks down, you may be able to locate a diagram of its construction together with a list of components and where to source replacements, just by typing in the brand and exact model, eg. Hoover T1-900. One can also compare prices in order to find the best deal on a purchase, or determine whether a better product is available. Libraries of books in electronic format are also accessible and can provide missing links to research on a topic.

Dangers
Anyone can put information on the internet from the President of Uganda to a street thug in New York. This freedom results in extremes in quality and reliability of content. People of corrupt morals may target net browsers with vulgar adverts. Preventing this from happening to you is what WebShield is all about.
