6 critical tips to protect your computer from malware and hackers
Last time I had posted on how to keep your Facebook account safe and secure.
Today let’s discuss on how to protect
your computer from latest cyber-threats and the potential hackers and malware that
are always around you.
Following are some tips that will substantially help you to protect your PC from various threats.
Back up your important data
Backing up all the important data in
your PC to an external hard drive is a very good idea to protect it in case of
any physical or software damage to your PC.
Stay away from malicious websites and software
- Look at the word “https//:” in the address bar before entering your credit card details, password or checking your e-mail.
- Never click on the links sent via e-mail by any website. You can go to the website directly instead.
- Never download attachments or click on links that are from the e-mails from unknown or suspicious people.
Avoid sharing sensitive information online
No matter which website you are on,
you have to be very much cautious and while sharing sensitive data online.
Use the most effective passwords
Using a weak password can turn out to
be a very big mistake for you.
Examples of weak passwords: “123456”,”iloveyou”,”password”,”passw0rd”,”your name, birth date or any of your personal info”.
Use passwords that contain combination of uppercase, lowercase letters and symbols.
Keep the passwords only in your head
and change them frequently.
Update the OS.
I know OS patch update is a headache but you must do it whenever there
is an opportunity because update patches are released to improve the security
flaws and vulnerabilities of the software.
Have a strong antivirus software
Last but not the least is having a strong and effective
antivirus/antimalware. Don’t go for free software. Instead go for premium and
reputed brand.
Conclusion
These tips are very much simple to follow yet very much
effective. If there’s a point that I have missed then feel free to comment
