Easy Ways to Secure Your Computer
Summary
Keep your computer safe from viruses and spyware with these simple tips.
---
1. Think Before You Click
Before opening any email attachment, take a moment to consider its source. If you don't recognize the sender, it's best to delete the email. Even if the subject line is enticing, such as "Britney Spears dancing," don't risk it.
Most recent viruses and worms spread through email, exploiting the curiosity of users. Don't open attachments from strange addresses. Even if the email is from someone you know, always scan attachments before downloading.
Follow these guidelines, and you'll significantly reduce the risk of email-borne viruses.
2. Protect Yourself Online
Effective internet protection involves three key components: antivirus software, anti-spyware software, and a firewall.
- Antivirus Software: You don’t need to spend a lot to get good protection. Many excellent antivirus programs are available for free online. Even the professional versions are affordable.
- Anti-Spyware Software: Like antivirus, you can find free anti-spyware solutions on the internet.
- Firewall: Windows XP comes with a decent built-in firewall. Always keep it enabled. Alternatively, you can download free options like ZoneAlarm.
Remember to update your antivirus and anti-spyware software at least once a week. Outdated programs are ineffective.
3. Be Cautious with Downloads
Many free online programs, especially those for ripping or converting music and videos, contain hidden spyware. Always research and scan downloads to ensure they are safe.
4. Stay Informed
Regularly visit antivirus sites like Symantec and Grisoft to stay updated on the latest virus threats. Knowing what's out there helps you avoid new risks.
For the past three years, these strategies have kept my computer virus-free. Staying informed and using common sense goes a long way in maintaining a bug-free internet experience.
5. Avoid Risky Websites
Sites featuring adult content or illegal software are hotspots for viruses and spyware. A single misclick can introduce trojans, spyware, and other harmful software that leave your computer vulnerable.
By following these tips, you can keep your computer secure and free from viruses. Stay vigilant and enjoy a safer online experience.
