Business-to-consumer is the business that sells products or provides services to end-user consumers. This is dealing between the producer and consumer. A transaction that occurs between a company and a consumer, as opposed to a transaction between companies. The term may also describe a company that provides goods or services for consumers. Business-to-business (B2B) describes commerce transactions between businesses, such as between a manufacturer and a wholesaler, or between a wholesaler and a retailer. Contrasting terms are business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-government (B2G).

C2C refers to consumer to consumer commerce. This means that a consumer sells something to another consumer. A good example of a C2C consumer to consumer commerce website is eBay. eBay is basically an auction site that facilitates sales by one consumer to another. Traditionally, C2C consumer to consumer sales occurred at flea markets or swap events when people sold second hand goods to somebody else. These C2C consumer to consumer sales are normally once-off transactions, people had to expend a lot of time to engage in C2C commerce.

E-commerce is actually a process of buying and selling of products and services by businesses and consumers through an electronic medium, without using any paper documents. E-commerce is widely considered the buying and selling of products over the internet, but any transaction that is completed solely through electronic measures can be considered e-commerce. E-commerce is subdivided into three categories: business to business or B2B (Cisco), business to consumer or B2C (Amazon), and consumer to consumer or C2C (eBay), also called the electronic commerce.


The Internet Security Suite is a security system which protects your computer, web sites and other electronic files from attack by hackers and viruses. The Internet is, by definition, a network; networks are open, and are thus open to attack. A poor Internet security policy can result in a substantial loss of productivity and a drop in consumer confidence. There are several types of Internet Security Suite: Norton, Avira, AVG, Kaspersky, Zonealarm, Bullguard, etc.


JavaScript is a scripting language that allows you to write programs that can be executed by a scripting engine. Scripting languages such as JavaScript differ from real programming languages in that the program code is not compiled. JavaScript code is executed line by line. This means that the program runs slower. JavaScript is a very useful feature of these browsers, as it allows you to create dynamic HTML pages.


Plug-in applications are programs that can easily be installed and used as part of your Web browser. A software plug-in is an add-on for a program that adds functionality to it. Initially, the Netscape browser allowed you to download, install, and define supplementary programs that played sound or motion video or performed other functions. A plug-in application is recognized automatically by the browser and its function is integrated into the main HTML file that is being presented.


Originating from the name of Hormel's canned meat, "spam" now also refers to junk e-mail or irrelevant postings to a newsgroup or bulletin board. There are two main types of spam, and they have different effects on Internet users one is the Cancellable Usenet spam, another one will be the Usenet spam. Cancellable Usenet spam is a single message sent to 20 or more Usenet newsgroups. Usenet spam is aimed at "lurkers", people who read newsgroups but rarely or never post and give their address away. Usenet spam robs users of the utility of the newsgroups by overwhelming them with a barrage of advertising or other irrelevant posts.
