how can secure your computer
Do you like this story?
1. Update / patch ALL your software every now and then!
2. Check / adjust ALL your settings so they are safe, since them
ARENT by default!
3. Use firewall, like Zone Alarm!
4. Use good passwords: at least 13marks long, containing
both letters and numbers. Remember to chance your password every few months at
least!
5. Get a good antivirus program: F-Secure or Norton
Antivirus and keep it updated!
6. Don’t open or execute files that you are not 100% sure
are absolutely safe no matter where or how you get them.
7. Wipe your history files (like cookies, internet history
and temporary files, etc.), logs and personal files, with specific wiping
program (like Eraser) instead of just deleting them.
8. Use encryption to enhance your privacy! Use encrypted email
and encrypt sensitive files on your computer (PGP).
9. Don’t use public computers for anything you need to type
in your logins; they usually have Trojan horses that capture your passwords.
10. Don’t assume anything. If you don’t know, find out! If
you can’t or don’t understand, ask someone who knows! There’s nothing more
dangerous than doing something you don’t really know anything about. That’s the
best way to cripple your system or get a Trojan horse on your computer!
