Malware and Phishing
Protect your computer with up to date operating system and application software to prevent the exploitation of known security weaknesses.
It is important to obtain and use antivirus software and firewalls from reputable
companies.
This applies to any operating systems and applications and verify that the auto-update setting is enabled when available.
To avoid accidental clicks on or within popups, it is best to prevent them from appearing
in the first place.
Back up, verify, and maintain offline copies of your personal and application data.
If your computer becomes compromised, it has limited impact on you - you can simply
have your system wiped clean and then reload your files.
