Security concerns:
With the proliferation of viruses, worms, trojans, identity theft and more, computer security is no longer a "
back-burner" item.
Nor is it something that you can attain and then forget about.
It must be kept in the back of our minds at all times, in much the same way as we deal with the security of our homes and cars.
For instance, even if you place the very best locks on all of your doors, they are useless if you don't lock them or if you leave a window wide open.
Similarly, even if you install an alarm system on your car, it will do you no good if you leave it turned off due to occasional false alarms.
In the same respect, the best antivirus program in the world does you little good if it isn't kept up to date or if it's notifications are ignored.
With that in mind,
this web page will offer some advice as well as links to some tools that you may find useful.
Odds & ends:
One of the best things you can do for your computer is to keep it up-to-date with all available patches.
This not only helps to keep your system(s) more secure, it can also help it to run more smoothly in some cases.
When you go to the
Microsoft Windows Update site, don't forget to also check for updates to your
Microsoft Office software if you have that installed.
For further "tweaking" to your system, you may find the information available at the below sites to be helpful:
