Here are some useful tips to keep your PC safe and secure. I know some of these tips are included in my general PC tip section, but they are important enough to list twice. I'll build upon these tips in the near future to include more details.
1. Use a Windows password to log in to your PC (no auto-logins!!)
2. Use hard to guess passwords (include symbols like #$%^&*)
3. Use anti-virus software
4. Use an anti-spyware program
5. Do not open email attachments from unknown sources
6. Run a firewall program on your PC
7. Set a screensaver password
8. Backup your data regularly and password protect your backups
9. Encrypt file attachments when sending via email (WinZip is a good free program)
10. Have an IT professional (like myself) perform a comprehensive security audit of your systems. Call (414) 570-1596 to schedule an appointment.
