Are You
Protected? 4
ways to protect yourself from security threats.
|
| 1. |
New viruses are being found every day. Be sure
that your anti-virus software is up-to-date and running.
|
| 2. |
Protect your network/computer with a firewall.
There are software and hardware firewalls that will block and
filter unwanted data from entering or leaving your network or
computer.
|
| 3. |
Check your ports. Ports are doors into your
system. Many programs unnecessarily open ports by default leaving
you vulnerable.
|
| 4. |
Avoid using peer-to-peer file sharing programs
across the Internet. These programs allow other people on the
Internet to access your files and make it easy for hackers to
break into your system. Many of them will also try to use your
unused hard drive space and bandwidth for their own purposes.
