Protect Your PC
from Viruses, Worms & Trojans
Each of the items in the checklist below is part
of a broad and easy to implement security policy.
- Install all windows critical updates for your
operating system from the Microsoft Update site
- it's free! All that's required to keep your Microsoft
operating system up to date is an Internet connection.
- Install and configure a firewall - either a
hardware or software based firewall is a must!
If you are using a router, it probably has firewall
capabilities included. Software firewalls are available
at minimal cost; one of the best is free!
- Install and configure antivirus software - the
cost is minimal, there are even free versions available
- the protection is priceless! Update the definition
files daily - scan your drive weekly - it can all
be automated with most programs.
- Create a backup - even the best plan can be circumvented
- be prepared for the worst with a complete backup
of your hard drive! If you already have a CD burner
and software installed in your machine, you probably
have the tools to create a complete system backup
- for only the cost of a few CD-R's!
Obviously, the costs to properly protect yourself from the worst threats to
your security are almost nil. If you need help
with any step above, simply use a Google search
to find help - it's freely available.
Follow these four simple steps and you will have implemented comprehensive
and complete protection for your PC. If you are
unable to initiate your own plan, hire an expert
to do the job. You won't be sorry! © 2004 ODEC
