The top 15 ways to protect your computer system
Most new computer users to use the computer for a particular purpose. I know some people who use e-mail just because. Others use it to view and print photos using the digital camera his. Some people like to do word processing or spreadsheet work from home. Teachers can use to develop these projects, they do not have time to do the job. While identity theft from the bank in many newspapers, TV, Internet characters, people do not protect their computers and their information. Perhaps their attitude was “This can not happen to me.” I was surprised, more than half of home computers in the home wireless network is not safe around. Some may have their own cars, free surfing laptops. Some families can borrow without having to pay his neighbor’s Internet service provider (ISP). I have a small tool to detect the wireless network. I was surprised that some companies in my district or school is not a secure network. I teach in a school class of identity theft, I went right to their network without any login information. The school thought they were safe. Another security problem is that when people leave laptops and unattended at the airport. When they find the missing laptop. Some thieves simply resell the notebook computer for fast money. Other thieves see what type of information, they can take the laptop. Even if the thief re-sale laptops soon, your personal information remains laptop. If the computer does not have a password, then anyone can access information on your computer. I have a client, so that her luggage in his notebook, and checking of their airlines. When she arrived at the hotel, opened her case, she saw the missing laptop. There are instructions online airline check her luggage. This customer is understanding? No, she did once. To make things worse is that she and other travel. He saw her luggage had seen her laptop, and he followed. A big surprise here – two laptops were gone. Home network is a big danger. If I see a secure network, I went home to pilot the door, that does not exist in the network security and 25 dollars, I would be safe. I usually write the pilot and let them know their network name. Four of five men came out to call me. Here are some ways to protect your computer system (they are not in order importance): 1 One password to access your computer. I put even boot password, which means that when you turn on your computer in a password, and then the computer starts. This should not be the same password you use to log on to your computer. The proposal needs to laptop users. 2nd Buy a surge protector and plug your computer into all of its projects. Purchase projects, and ensure, not just a distributor. 3rd In a thunderstorm, storm, or something that looks like it affects the power, the computer is inactive. I noticed even the surge protector from the wall. If the house was struck by lightning wires can burn out the computer part. 4th If you need your computer, invest in uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). Computers can stay for up to 3 hours power outage. If you have a laptop computer into the UPS, then you have a three-hour notebook battery life. 5th If you are connected to the Internet, wired or wireless, you must have a router built-in hardware firewall. You should have a good software firewall. Most of the time software scanning the Internet looking for vulnerable computers. It is not impossible, if you have cable, DSL, satellite or FIOS service, your computer is scanned 15 or more times. A hardware and software firewalls prevent this from happening. 6th Get anti-virus software installed on your computer.

Only a few seconds to send information about you. Such as credit card number is 16 characters. With software, it contains 16 characters or ID string. 12th Not reverse the attachment that you do not know. 13th If the email does not seem right, do not. Ebay, your bank, PayPal, etc., will not ask you to click the link to update your account information. They say, login to your account and verify your information. These fake e-mail is phishing for information. When you click on them but this is true sight to behold, but as long as you enter the phishing site, they have your username and password. Then you should immediately go to your page in the address input and change your password. If you can change your user name and do it. 14th Do not give your password to others. 15th If someone requests remote access to your computer to ensure that their software licensing basis.
