bacaartikeldisiniaja -- After seeing a lot of people complaining about Internet security vulnerabilities, I decided to write down a few things that might help with Internet security.
First, here are some tips to make Windows more secure.
Install Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 to get critical security and update patches.
Use Windows Update once a month to get the latest patches.
If you download software from the Internet, always download from the original website.
Always run anti-trojan and anti-virus software. Even if you don't use Internet Explorer, you want to be as secure as possible.
When you access the Internet, you browse the Internet with a browser such as Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer has several security holes. You should either be as secure as possible or switch your default browser to something else. You need to set some options from Manage Add-ons in Internet Options. You'll see a list of add-ons that you can enable or disable. If you see any unusual entries, disable them and make sure there are no trojans/worms.
You can check the processing level in Internet Options -> Security -> Internet ->. They should be set to high to disable most security threats.
Your web browser should now work fine. Let's see what we need to do from an email perspective.
Since Outlook Express is built into Windows systems, many users use Outlook Express to send emails. However, it actually contains many security flaws, so we recommend using alternatives. can remove viruses without downloading them to your PC.
Make sure you have an antivirus installed for 100% virus protection. One thing I find very good and have never been disappointed with is AVG Antivirus. If you take your time and update it regularly, it should be safe enough. Many people install a firewall because they think it improves Internet security. I personally disagree. If you don't know how to configure it best and need to know a lot about the technology behind it, your PC will just slow down and your software won't work. You can use the Windows XP SP2 firewall for basic security.
All these tips will make your PC more secure. I've been surfing the web daily for a while now and they've been working really well for me. I haven't come across a virus/worm in a while.
