In the villages of the English countryside there are still people who remember the good old days when no one bothered to lock their doors. There simply wasn’t any crime to worry about.
Amazingly, these happy times appear still to be with us in the world’s biggest community.

A. to prevent hackers from breaking into websites
B. to download useful programs and information
C. to improve the security of the Internet system
D. to investigate the security of Internet sites
