6 practices for safer computing

Whilst the internet has allowed billions of people to access information in seconds it has also afforded criminals the same luxury. The internet, and the anonymity it provides, can give online scammers, hackers, and identity thieves access to your computer, personal information, finances, and more.

As a result, it is imperative that you understand the threats online and minimize your chances of being a victim of cybercrime. To be safer and more secure online, adopt these seven practices.

1. Protect your personal information at all costs.

• Before you share your personal information find out what it is going to be used for.
  ▪ Be wary of any pop-ups that ask for your informaiton.
• Don’t send personal and important information by email – it is not secure.
• Read website privacy policies.
• Before giving your financial details on a website make sure it is secure. This can be signified by a lock icon URL that begins “https:” where the “s” stands for “secure

2. Be very careful who you deal with online and which websites you visit

• There are many scammers out there some of which try to pass off fake antivirus software as the real deal. This antivirus software scam is used to get your personal details and install more malware on your PC.
• Beware of file sharing sites – there are huge problems with viruses on these sites. They can also give others access to your hard drive.

3. Use good antivirus and antispyware software, as well as a firewall, and update them all often

• It is never much fun to part with our hard earned cash but purchasing a decent antivirus and antisypware will save a lot of tears (and possibly money) in the long term. This website reviews some of the best on the market today.
• If your operating system doesn’t include a firewall, buy one or install a free one that runs in the background.

4. Set up the security settings on your operating system and Web browser properly and update them regularly

• Many virus developers exploit PCs that have unsecured browsers (i.e. internet explorer) and operating systems. Check the tools/options menu for your security settings.
• You can normally download recent security patches from the website of your OS and browser (and also set up automated updates).

5. Protect your passwords carefully

• Don’t use the same password for each site you need to access
• Change them regularly (i.e. every 90 days)
• Never send them via email

6. Regularly back up important files

• Back them up to external locations (i DVD, external drive)
