Antivirus Firewall Software – Can’t Stand Alone
Understanding antivirus firewall software has become my new passion in the world of information technology. The only thing I find true is the simple fact that this new type of Internet security software can not become the ultimate solution for computer users. Not only are there other tools and software that can be associated with your security software, but you can also perform some basic operations to reduce the effects of viruses and malicious traffic. In my opinion, every small office or home user must ensure that he follows certain security rules for his personal PC. That’s why I use this article to recommend some basic security tips to the average computer user. I would like to make sure these basic rules are outside my computer security portfolio.
Physical Security: The first step in security is to make sure your computer is physically in a safe place. If you are a small business owner, you want to make sure your office is locked after normal business hours and that you have some type of security alarm. Then you will want to make sure that you have all your network equipment and all the servers that you may have physically locked in a closet. Remember that you can have the best antivirus firewall software in the world, but if your PC is physically accessible to any criminal, then all the security of this software suddenly becomes useless and useless.
Protect your data: Secondly, the focus should be on the security of your personal data. A few simple steps allow you to secure your data files.
Step 1: You must make sure to back up your data.
Step 2: Place these data backups in a locked vault. preferably off-site from your business or home.
Step 3: Then you have to use software (many versions are available for free or for a fee) that allows you to hide the data from the snoopers (whether they are family members or real Internet diggers). This type of software masks the files (when someone is connected to your computer) and will also encrypt them to prevent hackers from decrypting your data.
Email: I do not recommend opening email from unreliable or unknown sources. Many viruses, Trojans, etc. are sent by email. Attachments: This is an elementary safety tip, but millions of people are not listening. Do not open attachments that look suspicious or have unexpected topics, even if they come from someone you may be familiar with. Many worms come from attachments and spread quickly over the Internet and to your friends via the contact list of your email program.
Use Internet Security Software: I recommend that every computer owner invest in an Internet security software suite (most antivirus vendors offer this type of security suite). These software offerings include antivirus, firewall, antispyware, IM security and parental control programs that combat viruses, other malicious code and crazy internet hackers.
