• Keep operating system and browser patched.
• Use hardware or software firewall.
• Use and regularly update quality anti-virus and anti-spy ware programs.
• Read all end user license agreements and privacy policies carefully. If in doubt, don’t install the software.
• Beware of “free” software, often offered in exchange for accepting adware.
• Don’t normally run as administrator. Set up a regular user account for day-to-day work and log on as administrator only to install patches, etc.
• Think about what software actually need.
• Never click on links in email unless you know/can verify who sent it.
• Beware of pomography, online gaming, get-rich-quick and other high-risk web sites.
