Top 10 tricks to enhance ur pc Sequirity.
1. Check Windows Update. Windows Me, 2000, and XP users
can configure automatic updates. Click on the Automatic Update tab in the
System control panel and choose the appropriate options.
2. Install a good Antivirus software and update it regularly. An Antivirus without updates is of no use.
3. Install a personal firewall. Both SyGate (http://www.sygate.com/) and Zone Alarm (http://www.zonelabs.com/) offer free versions.
4. Install a good Anti spyware.(Antivirus with built-in antispyware is a go0d choice).
5. Use strong passwords and change them periodically. Passwords should have at least seven characters; use letters and numbers and have at least one symbol. A decent example would be f8izKro#l. This will make it much harder for anyone to gain access to your accounts.
6. If you’re using Outlook or Outlook Express, use the current version or one with the Outlook Security Update installed. The update and current versions patch numerous vulnerabilities.
7. Be skeptical of things on the Internet. Don’t blindly assume that an email “From:” a particular person is actually from that person since it is possible to send a fake email.
8. Check for Versign SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate (Or logo) before you make any e-commerce transaction (Credit card transaction) with a website.
9. Never disable the Auto-Protect feature of your Antivirus. If your Antivirus doesn’t have Auto-Protect feature then manually scan the files before you execute them
10. Never give out your passwords to anyone at any time even if the person claims to be from “support.”
