Top Tips
- Use Mozilla Firefox to browse the world wide web. Mozilla Firefox is constantly improving security measures against websites that try to steal your information.
- Ensure you have a firewall installed and correctly set up to control your connection to the Internet. We recommend using Outpost Firewall for many reasons.
- Avoid installing software such as KaZaA and MSN Plus! as both contain software that monitors your computers activity. If that was not bad enough, they also make messages appear all the time and the software used to display these messages makes your computer system run really slow.
- Close software you are not using. This not only speeds up your computer system but prevents attackers from taking over software to gain access to your computer system.
- Check out all e-mails that are sent to you, no matter how real they look, some are complete fakes and direct you to websites that capture your e-mail address so that they can send you junk e-mails.
- Report attackers to your service provider and the local authority, it might take a few complaints to stop an attacker but action will always be taken.
- Check out the Secunia website, it has a lot of information about vulnerabilities in software and hardware as well as details about viruses.
