General Security Tips

  • Keep your software up to date

    Keep your browser software up to date. This is crucial, as new patches are often released to fix existing vulnerabilities in the browser. The same applies beyond the browser: it is critical to keep your operating system and all other software up to date for the same reason.

  • Run anti-virus software

    Anti-virus software protects you by scanning for and removing malicious files on your computer. There are many excellent options for virus protection (both paid and free), so do a little research and select the program that best fits your needs.

  • Avoid public or free Wi-Fi

    Attackers often use wireless sniffers to steal users’ information as it is sent over unprotected networks. The best way to protect yourself is to avoid such networks completely.

  • Disable stored passwords

    Nearly all browsers and many websites offer to remember your passwords for future use. This feature stores your passwords in one location on your computer, which makes them easier for an attacker to discover if your system gets compromised.
