best advice about computers

By sanjuanjohn

Best advice about computers, don’t rely on “Anti-Virus” programs like Norton or NOD32. Instead modify your behavior. For use IE7 not IE6, for browsing. Firefox was great but now is insecure as compared to IE7. Don’t open emails from people you don’t recognize. Don’t click on any attachments in your emails. Don’t click on any links in the emails, copy and paste the URL. Backup your computer every week or at least monthly. Turn on Restore and monitor regularly. Update all Microsoft patches, ASAP if you are using a Microsoft OS. Use Vista if you care to upgrade to a more secure Window OS. If you have to use an internet cafe, copy and paste your login and passwords, don’t keyboard. Keyloggers are everywhere now days and hard to beat. Learn the common “Turn On”  key combinations for keyloggers, ie; CTRL+AlT+Shft+ H, or CTL+ATL+F7.
