PC Management At Home
How do you keep your computer safe from virus, spyware, spam, and other system intrusions. There is no one way to protect your computer 100%, but with a combination of resources you can minimize the impact.
There are a variety of tools that you should have installed on your home computer to help protect you from hackers and attacks. You should install
- Virus protection and keep it current (If you have not purchased virus protection, we recommend Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows as a free alternative.0
- Anti Spyware/Malware protection
- Personal Firewall - especially if you have a DSL or Cable internet connection, and
- Also recommended - the Google Toolbar for additional protection from popups.
Many of these tools come standard from your Internet Service Provider, but be sure to ask about them and if they do not come standard, be sure to install them yourself.
