5. Protect your System information
1) Use a firewall
A firewall is a software system that will
handle outgoing and incoming Internet
connections of your computer.. i will like
to recommend Comodo Firewall / Zone
Alarm which is free and straightforward
to use. Using Firewall is just one
of Computer Security tip that i want to
mention
6. 2) Use antivirus
There are obvious reasons to use Anti virus
Programs, but there are People that don’t
have any antivirus or those who have,
However there are quite powerful free
antivirus Available. One must Install
Antivirus to Protect and Keep their
Computer Secure
I recommend: Widows essential Security /
Avast free Antivirus
7. 3) Updating software system:
New vulnerabilities are found in software system or operative systems like Windows
each day. So one must always updates their software system. Keeping your installed
Software up to date is Important, as it will Keep hackers away from breaking into your
System and its Said that any up to date program Works smooth without any glitch.
8. 4) Use complicated passwords
Users like you and me use too
weak passwords that are very simple to detect
for hackers, there are so many software which
will try all Possible Combinations to Crack your
Password, this is known as Bruteforce
technique . If your secret word(password)
Consists of just 4 or 5 characters, it will easily
discover it.
Your Password becomes harder to crack if it
consists of 8 or 9 characters which also
includes numbers, letters and special
characters.To check the strength of your
Password, there are plenty tools over internet.
This is an important Computer Security tip that
everyone must Consider.
9. 5) Use totally different passwords
Most common mistake people make is that they use same password everywhere over
internet. Yes, its very hard to remember passwords for all accounts but its highly
advisible to have different passwords for different accounts.
This Practice Comes handy if one of your account gets Compromised/Hacked, then
your other accounts are still safe.
10. 6) Always Beware:
Finally, Abstain from getting hacked, Always
beware while Browsing Internet, don’t
transfer and install everything and anything
on your PC or Laptop.
Always check the sources of software system
and websites that you just use to download
programs.
Don’t be silly and amateur hackers won’t be
able to do anything to you (while serious and
skilled hackers will not have any interest to
hack you)
