10 Tips To Improve Your Computer Security<\/h3>\n

by Mitz for Tips4PC.com<\/p>\n

Computer security is no joke\u2014the FBI recently arrested a man for child pornography, but when they investigated his computer, it turned out that a computer virus had been downloading the images using his account; in this article we\u2019ll give you 10 tips to improve your computer security that may save you from being dragged out in handcuffs in front of your neighbors.<\/p>\n

As I said, this is no joke! You would not wish this on your worst, most annoying neighbor. This just proves that your lack of computer security can interfere with your life, but hopefully not enough to get carted away.<\/p>\n

Computer Security Tip #1: Use Top Anti-Virus Software<\/h3>\n

There are a lot of anti-virus programs out there, but they\u2019re not all created equal. In order to catch viruses before they infect your computer, anti-virus software needs to know what the virus looks like\u2014this is called the virus\u2019s signature.<\/p>\n

It takes a professional security researcher to find virus signatures and some companies that sell generic anti-virus software can\u2019t afford to hire enough security researchers to cover all the viruses. Only the top anti-virus companies and those companies that rely on volunteers have the resources necessary to identify the most recent viruses.<\/p>\n

AVG, McAfee, and Symantic (Norton) all make top anti-virus software backed by dozens or hundreds of security researchers whose job it is to identify current viruses. Other software might work, but it might also be too out of date to catch today\u2019s viruses.<\/p>\n

Computer Security Tip #2: Use A Firewall<\/h3>\n

When other computers try to connect to your computer, it\u2019s the job of your operating system\u2014Microsoft Windows\u2014to handle the connection attempts. But Windows has security flaws. Microsoft tries to fix these flaws as fast as possible, but every time a new flaw appears, hackers can use it to break into your computer.<\/p>\n

A firewall changes that. A firewall sits between the Internet and your computer, monitoring the traffic going between them. It looks at every incoming Internet connection to see if you requested it. If you did request it, the firewall lets the connection through. But if you didn\u2019t request it, the firewall blocks it.<\/p>\n

Blocking connections you didn\u2019t ask for is simple and takes up only a tiny bit of your computer\u2019s processing power, yet it provides an incredible amount of security, so we highly recommend a firewall for all users everywhere.<\/p>\n
