It’s time for us to reveal the poll result for the last week which is about a spyware. So this question we have asked last week “Do you know what the spyware is?” There are 3 options for this question but only one option is empty vote. The shop that is empty is option 1 that says “No. Don't know what that is and haven’t even heard about it before”. This 0% shows that there is none of them that don’t know what spy ware is. As we know most of the people nowadays should know about what spyware because people nowadays use to online browsing on internet, working, studying and we are often remind through email, by friends or family to be careful of spyware that attacks our computer system. Therefore, it is impossible none of them never even heard before what spyware is about.

Besides that based on the poll result, we could also see that up to 75% of the people chose option 3 where it indicates that they had heard about it before but don’t really know what it is. This shows that many people are aware of the existence of spyware but they did not take initiative to in detail searching the details about spyware. Therefore some of them only know Spyware is a type virus that attacks our computers or some only knows about it when their computers have problems however they did not know what the real meaning about it and how it affects as well as how the spyware manage get in our computer. It might because people nowadays are too busy with their work and daily routine so since this spyware is not even consider important in part of their life they will not spend time to know so detail about it. When their computers have problem they will just send to the computer technical shop to work it out.

Lastly, actually only a 25% of them really understand and know what is the meaning of spyware really is. This is where the participants choose 2nd option which is “Yes. I know about it and have it on my computer”. These people maybe the ones that really have high interest towards computer programs and details

Good day everyone, it’s time to reveal the poll result for the last week which is about the vacation packages through online. So this is the question we have asked,” Have you purchased any vacation packages through on-line and what do you think about it?” We have 5 options for voters to vote and there are, ‘Yes, but faced a lot of miss-communication and hidden charges that was not posted up’, ‘Yes, It’s easy, convenient, and trustable’, No, I will never purchase it online it’s just too risky’, ‘No, but will try it someday’ and others.


According to the poll result, we have received 15 voters in 7days. We can see that out of the 5 options only 3 options that have been chosen by the voters. As we can see that the highest votes in the bar chart are the bar which contains 47% which had answered ‘No. I will never purchase it online it’s just too risky’. From the results we could analyze that the percentage of the people who choose this may had bad experience when they purchase online or they might have listen to many bad experience or news about the online purchasing. Therefore this had made them lost confident in purchasing online.


Furthermore, there are 33% of people who had chosen the option 4 which is ‘No. But will try it someday. People who had chosen that might be because they felt that online is not trustable enough that they will dare to put in a large sum of money to purchase it online but they might want to try it using a small sum of money first. From this people who had try might gain more secure in investing or purchasing from this company. As lately there are too many fraud cases around that make the people lost confident in it but people are also wise enough to think that not all companies are bad and not trustable. So still they will hope to try 1 day.


Lastly, the remaining 30% of people had chosen ‘Yes. But faced a lot of miss-communication and hidden charges that were not posted up’. Although they are many successful company that are doing online trading and purchasing worldwide however they are also some failures due to the communications problems it is because each or everyone of us have different thinking or some may due to culture different in each country. As only through online with wording document including rules and regulations are pretty hard to get 100% understanding from all the customers. Therefore is still not prefect purchasing online compared to face to face purchasing however things can be change to be better. Many companies are doing online business as it is easier and faster for them to communicate and business with worldwide people all around.


As the conclusion it is pretty beneficial to purchase online but then many people are still feeling insecure purchasing online. The world is changing to be more and more advance day by day that make all the daily routine like purchasing to be easier and cheaper. So is advisable that everyone should try purchasing through online.

Do you still remember the poll question last week? Will you go through an online dating service to find you a life partner? Why? This is the question for last week’s poll. There are altogether 3 options for the poll: ‘Yes. Why not!’; ‘Never! No matter how desperate I am!’; and ‘Maybe. But just for fun not looking for real life partner’. So, now, it’s the time to reveal the result!

There are 33 voters for the poll in 7 days. Unexpectedly, the votes are distributed close evenly among the 3 options. According to the chart on top, the higher vote which is 39% goes to the option 1- ‘Never! No matter how desperate I am!’ From the result obtained, we can tell that most of the people are skeptical to try online dating services. It is mainly because of too many dating scams out there that make them back off seeking help from those online dating services. Some even choose not to go through online dating service as they once became a dating scam victim. Some even think that it is unrealistic dating with someone through Internet.

The option that has a second higher vote which has 32% is ‘Maybe. But only for fun not looking for real partner!’ These 32% of voters are those who will try online dating service out of curiosity. They are often not committed in the relationship. This is what we usually call them as “game players’ where they have multiple online partners.

Lastly, the option ‘Yes! Why Not!’ There is only 29% of voters that are willing to try online dating service. These are the people that believe in online dating services and they have seen successful couples from online dating service by themselves. So, they are willing to try online dating service to get their life partner.

If you have missed the poll last week, don’t worry! Here, we have another new poll question waiting for your vote! See you in the next poll result! At the meantime, check out our new posts in I-Fraud Monster! Enjoy~
