The subject for today's tip at PCMag is a must for all every-day-computer-users. It's an article with 94 tips to keep you safe from all the evil in the online and offline world. Some are obvious for the experienced users but it's always good to remember all, and this is good stuff for the novice computer users.
A couple of examples:
- Put up a hardware firewall
- Ideally, the PC is on a network with a hardware firewall. This will ensure that the devices behind it are protected against most attacks. If the PC is not on a network, purchase a firewall device. Any of today's home wireless and wired routers provide some firewall functionality. - Set a password - For increased security, assign a password to every account with administrator privileges. From the User Accounts screen, click on the user and select Create a Password. Follow the wizard and add a password to the account. Don't use an obvious password such as "password," "admin," or your username.
