DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION |
| |
|
| 1.1 |
"Browser" means a software application that enables a User to display and interact with text, images, and other information typically located on a web page at a website on the World Wide Web (WWW) or a local area network. It is therefore a computer program which allows a person to read hyperlinked data messages. |
| |
|
| 1.2 |
"Caching" means high speed memory that stores data for relatively short periods of time, under computer control, in order to speed up data transmission or processing. |
| |
|
| 1.3 |
"Data message" means data generated, sent, received or stored by electronic means and includes: |
| |
|
| |
1.3.1 |
Voice, where the voice is used in an automated transaction. |
| |
|
|
| |
1.3.2 |
A stored record. |
| |
|
| 1.4 |
"Hyperlink" means a reference or link from some point in one data message directing a browser or other technology or functionality to another data message or point therein to another place in the same data message. |
| |
|
| 1.5 |
"Intercept" includes filter, scan, block, redirect, access, disrupt, copy, print, disclose, retain, use, collect, delete and/or record, in any format and in any manner. |
| |
|
| 1.6 |
"Malware" is a generic term derived from "mal" (i.e. maladjusted or malfunction) and "ware" (i.e. software and hardware). It is classified in the following four categories: |
| |
|
| |
1.6.1 |
Viruses, which are computer programs that could copy itself (self-replicating) and infect a computer without permission or knowledge of the User. A computer virus reproduces by making, possibly modified, copies of itself in the computer's memory, storage, or over a network. A virus therefore
embeds itself in another program just as a real virus will manipulate the genetic structure of a host cell to implant a copy of it. Some viruses are programmed to damage the computer by damaging programs, deleting files, corrupt files, or reformatting the hard disk. |
| |
|
|
| |
1.6.2 |
Worms, which are
self-replicating computer programs. It uses a network to send copies of itself to other nodes (computer workstations on the network infrastructure) and it may do so without any User intervention. Computer worms are programmed to harm the network (if only by consuming bandwidth). |
| |
|
|
| |
1.6.3 |
Trojans, which are programs that
pretends to be something else, such as useful programs or even computer games. There are two common types of Trojans. The first is where useful software has been corrupted by a hacker by inserting malicious code that executes while a program is being used. The second is a standalone program that masquerades as something else, such as a game or image file, in order to trick the User into some misdirected complexity that is needed to carry out the program's objectives. The name comes from the fabled Trojan horse used by Greek and Spartan warriors to gain entry to the City of Troy. Trojans rely on people to send them to friends and co-workers. |
| |
|
|
| |
1.6.4 |
Spyware, which is
software that is installed on a computer without the knowledge of the User, in order to steal information. It collects personal information about Users without their informed consent. Personal information is secretly recorded with a variety of techniques, including logging key strokes, recording Internet web browsing history, and scanning documents on the computer's hard disk. Stolen information/data could include important documents, passwords, and banking details. |
| |
|
| 1.7 |
"Spamming" means large volumes of messages (unsolicited mail) sent to addressees, which results in the flooding of the network, with the impact that real/important messages are either not received or considerably delayed. |
| |
|
| 1.8 |
"User" means any person (which includes public and private bodies) who enters or uses the Exponªnt's Web site, notwithstanding the fact that such a person only visited the home page of the Exponªnt Web site. |
| |
|
| 1.9 |
"Worker" means employee, contractor, consultant, service provider, and any other workers utilising Exponªnt's information resources. |
| |
|
| 1.10 |
References herein to the singular includes the plural and vice versa. |
| |
|
| 1.11 |
