Security

  • Use anti-virus software and keep it up to date.
  • Don’t open e-mails or attachments from unknown sources. Be suspicious of any unexpected e-mail attachments even if it appears to be from someone you know.
  • Protect your computer from Internet intruders — use a firewall.
  • Regularly download security updates and “patches” for your operating systems and other software.
  • Use hard-to-guess passwords. Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, or other characters not easy to find in a dictionary, and make sure they are at least eight characters long.
  • Back up your computer data on disks or CDs regularly.
  • Don’t share access to your computers with strangers. Learn about file sharing risks.
  • Disconnect from the Internet when not in use.
  • Check your security on a regular basis. When you change your clocks for daylight-savings time, reevaluate your computer security.
  • Make sure your family members/computer users know what to do if your computer becomes infected.
    The key to success is the right combination of common sense and technology
