Securing your computer is as important as securing your home. You spend a lot of time on your computer and lots of this time is spent on the internet. The internet is a great tool but can also bring with it viruses and malware which can cause you big problems.
How can I protect
myself?
1. Set strong passwords that include uppercase,
lowercase and numbers.
2. Don’t use the same password for all accounts.
3. Keep passwords safe and out of site.
4. When using the internet for anything like
banking or emails ensure that the website is HTTPS.
5. Do not open email attachments unless you are
expecting them or know the attachment is safe. Many viruses come via email
attachments.
6. Use a paid for anti-virus software package. Ask us for recommendations.
7. Only do software updates whilst at home or on a
secure connection, and again only do an update if you know the software is
genuine. If in doubt give us a call!
8. If you have not asked for tech support then it
is unlikely a company knows you are having problems with your computer. So do
not allow anyone access to your computer. Microsoft Tech Support will not call
you, so be weary of bogus calls.
If in any doubt or if you have any question about your computer security then please give us a call on 020 8445 6700
