Password:

It is always safer to use password for your computer, server, routers, firewall, and important files so that only authentic user can access the computer network or content of the files. The password should be a combination of alphabet, number, and special characters. The password should be changed at regular intervals.

Firewall:

Firewall is the extra level of security mechanism that is used to protect your computer or network from intruders or hackers. A firewall can be basically be categorized into hardware firewall and software firewall.

The hardware firewall provides protection from most forms of attacks coming to internal local area network.

The software firewall is a set of related programs installed at the server or computer to protect them from the outside attacks.

Antivirus softwar:

To protect your computer from the attacks of viruses, you should install the latest updated antivirus software in your computers.

Install updates:

Installation of antivirus and/or anti-spyware program is not sufficient; you should regularly download the latest updates to protect computer system from latest viruses, spyware, or adware.

Check the URL:

Sometimes you get URL address in your mail id. You should not open that link provided to you unless you know that the page is secure. If the page’s URL begins with https://, then the page is secure. The letter‘s’ indicates that the website user Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.

Anti-Spyware and Anti-Adware programs:

The Anti-Spyware and Anti-Adware programs can be purchased separately or bundled with antivirus software and a firewall.

Make regular backups of critical data:

It is a good idea to regularly keep backups copy of all your important files on removable external hard disk, pen drive, or recordable CD or DVD ROM disks so that one may not suffer data loss in the case or virus contamination.

Use of content filtering software:-

Parents should always keep a watch on the sites that their children are accessing.

Finding security holes in the network:-

System managers of the organization should work hard to track down the security holes and bugs in the networks and close them before intruders can track them and attack.

Keep personal information private:

You should not provide personal information like name, e-mail id, account information, driving license number, etc. on demand to anyone unless you know who you are giving it to.

Scan your machine:

If you are find something suspicious and the processing speed of the computer seems down, then you should scan your computer either through the CD ROM of antivirus or using the online virus removal facility, which some antivirus software vendor offer.
