windows firewall, but if someone wishes or are having some problems with the
inbuilt firewalls, then please go ahead and download. I will prefer you all to
download Zone Alarm Firewall, as it is one of the best free firewall.
Having a Decent Passwords:-
Guys I know many of you are using many social accounts, using e-banking or other type of important accounts, help yourself to make them fully secure. First of all use strong passwords, in sense of the length of the pwd and characters involved in it, and secondly, change them periodically, at a regular interval of time, suppose after every 3 or 4 months. Passwords should have at least seven characters or more if you can remember; use letters and numbers and have at least one symbol, ie use any kind of pwd having a mixture of many characters. A decent example would be h98kjl@!kl. This will make it much harder for anyone to gain access to your accounts, as it is not easy to be guessable by newbie hacker or whatsoever.
Having the Best In-Class Antivirus:-
Buy goodantivirus software and try to keep
it up to date. For more to know read our post on why do we need to update or buy antivirus software. If you're not willing to pay for any kind of antivirus
software there are many free softwares in the market, the free once like Avast,
AVG, Comodo, Avira and MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials).
Having a Anti-Spyware:-
Spyware is a type of software that can be installed onto virtually anyone’s computer system without them knowing it’s even there. Most spyware is generally harmless as it is used for advertising purposes, much like adware. There are, however, some types of spyware that can be potentially dangerous to computer and Internet users as it can literally find personal and private information on your computer and steal whatever it wants.
The
best way to get a way through out is toinstall a spyware blocker or
anti-spyware software like Ad-Aware Free Antivirus+, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware,
etc…
Avoiding Spam/ Fake Messages:-
Be
skeptical of things on the Internet. Don't assume that e-mail "From:"
a particular person is actually from that person until you have further reason
to believe it's that person. Don't assume that an attachment is what it says it
is. Don't give out your password to anyone, even if that person claims to be
from "support."
