Security and protecting your Emails
You must
protect your computer when you connect to the Internet. There are
people who create Viruses. These are just programs
written by developers who do it for a variety of reasons the main one
being notoriety. Mirroring life, there are harmless viruses and deadly
ones. Some of them access information on your computer and do little
else, others
look for specific information - bank accounts, credit card
information for fraud purposes and others cause damage to
your operating system environment which usually requires removing
everything from your computer and re-installing everything. This will
result in lots of wasted time, cost and sadly in many cases the loss of
important information because it was not backed up or because the
backup was also infected.
Viruses are
spread mostly by email and by them sneaking onto your computer when you
are browsing the Web using a browser. There are steps which you can
take to protect yourself:-
- Choose carefully
the email client you use. Ask yourself if you must use Microsoft
Outlook or Explorer. Both of those are specifically targeted by Viruses.
- Purchase, install
and keep updated Anti Virus and Internet Security software. For more
information on what they do and recommendations visit our Security section.
- Do not put disks
or tapes into your computer unless you know that they have come from a
computer which is also protected.
- Do not connect
your computer to a network unless you know that ALL the
computers connected to it are also protected.
- Discourage
people who send you Emails which contain pictures and/or attachments
which have come from an unknown source.
