This is a sample of instructions I was asked to submit to a private business client to help his employees
understand that they have to own why their computers are having problems.
How Does My Windows Operating System Get Infected?
Your internet surfing behavior needs improvement
Websites are becoming annoying mazes of ads and popups; it is best to exercise caution when going to
any new site. Both the pop-culture internet sites and the social network sites are super-saturated with
paths that can easily lead to infection and popup headaches. The people most commonly targeted are
those who play the games offered on Facebook--especially the games that cost money. Avoid gaming on
all these sites. When in doubt, don’t click it.
You use the same password for everything
This is a bad idea, but if you insist on doing so, a good password has to be at least 8 alphanumeric
(letters and numbers) characters and contain at least one capital letter and one punctuation mark. Even
if you follow these guidelines, it’s still a temptation to take the easy way out. For example, if your
password was “fryingpan” and you change it to “Frying5pan!”, while it is an improvement, it still might
not be secure. It is too common to capitalize the first letter and put a special character at the end. A
number could be a substitute for a letter and should not always be in an obvious breaking point.
Consider a phrase instead: “veryrus7yfryingP@n”. And finally, change all your passwords annually.
You try to get something for nothing (which is called theft) via file sharing sites
For example: 4shared, Megaupload, Mediafire, Filestube, Rapidshare, The Pirate Bay, Fileserve, Hotfile,
Torrentz.eu, Depositfile, MiniNova, WhereToWatch.com, Bittorent.AM, etc. If you try to download
movies, music, television shows, software, or pornography from a site that offers them to you free of
charge, you are putting yourself in harm’s way. Avoid trying to get something for nothing; it is always
best to purchase items from a reputable source. Ask yourself if your integrity and security worth is it.
You often ignore Microsoft Updates
On the second Tuesday of every month, Microsoft makes updates available that are designed to plug
holes that develop in the Windows operating system. If you ignore these updates, you are in effect
saying, “Thanks, Mr. Gates, for the amazing and comparatively inexpensive operating system that
dominates the entire world computer market, but I can take it from here.” This is wrong. Do not do this.
These updates are important and they are free. Install these updates when you are notified, then restart
your computer once they’ve been installed. Don’t starve your operating system.
You open infected links in emails or email attachments
Opening any spam email or suspected spam email is high risk behavior, even if it comes from a close
friend or family member. Spam email typically has no text in the Subject field, and the only text in the
body of the email is the offending link. Don’t click on the link and don’t reply to the sender from this
email. Call or text the sender, and ask, "Did you mean to send this to me?" Odds are you’ll be doing
them a favor as well--they’re probably unaware that this is happening. Lastly, open the trash bin in your
email and delete it there as well.
