Protect your system from internet threats

For system administrators who are deeply trained about security loopholes in a computer, it is so easy to figure out if the computer is being compromised, but for normal Users who only knows how to run certain program not how program run it might be slightly difficult if not a nightmare.

These are things to consider in order to be safe
  • For Windows users I think they must be family with different antivirus since they on the list of the tools that can protect your system.
  • Firewall help protect both networked or standalone computer since it control inbound and outbound traffic, therefore it must be configured and running properly. Conveniently for Windows users all antivirus comes with firewall configured therefore you only needs to have activate Antivirus to be secured.
  • Enabling File and Print service in a standalone computer is not required so it must disabled as so doing causes easy access to your computer from Internet users.
  • Last but not least, knowing how to run applications at User level must not make think you know better and stop learning, you must have the desire to know the inside part.
