To me, the most important thing you can do to protect your computer is to be skeptical. Start with the assumption that you are being lied to. No software can protect someone who lets the bad guys continually scam them. |

Like Internet Explorer, the Adobe Reader is extremely popular, so bad guys focus on it. Like Microsoft, Adobe is slow in issuing bug fixes. At least Microsoft issues IE patches monthly, Adobe thinks that every three months is a good idea. You are safer using software that is updated when bugs are found, not when corporate needs dictate. |

Turn off autorun. The ability to automatically run programs when inserting a CD or USB flash drive was a huge security mistake on the part of Microsoft. Making this worse, in the many years since, they have modified the rules over and over and issued multiple bug fixes to the software enforcing the rules. Anyone who thinks they understand the rules for how autorun works and can explain it to you, doesn't understand the rules.
The good news is that you can bypass the quicksand of autorun completely. Every variation and iteration of Microsoft's rules boils down to a file called autorun.inf. There is a simple registry update that tells Windows never, no matter what, ever pay attention to any autorun.inf file. It's ironclad safety.

The big issue with securing wireless networks is making sure that good encryption is used for all data traveling over the air. Never use WEP encryption. If that is the only option in your router, buy a new router. WPA encryption is good enough. There have been two holes discovered with it, but experts consider them minor. WPA version 2 (WPA2) is the best encryption and should be your first choice, assuming all your wireless devices support it. Technically, the last paragraph is not true. What people call WPA encryption really refers to TKIP and what is called WPA2 encryption really refers to AES. I mention this because if you opt for WPA2 and then chose TKIP to use with it your security is the same as WPA. |

There are multiple ways of invading your privacy if you are in the internet space. Therefore, one should be careful in surfing sites. Also, mails from unknown sources should be scanned, screened, before they are being read. Try to clear caches, cookies, and histories, periodically.

If you find any system or internet error, dont think that by restarting PC it can be solved, you must call hardware or software engineer to fix that error permanently. That is why you have to be more skeptical as far as your PC is concerned.
