With the widespread use of computers and the emergence of an increasing number of Internet users, one big problem has arisen - hacking directly into computers and accounts on all kinds of resources. For an ordinary user, these actions do not bring much trouble, the maximum is an unpleasant aftertaste on the soul. But for those who store important information on their computer, or use Internet wallets, hacking can cause a serious blow even to their financial condition. In this regard, it is recommended to protect your computer as thoroughly as possible from intruders. But do not flatter yourself - if a real professional sets out to gain access to your PC, he will do it.
Necessary
- access to the Internet
- administrator account
Instructions
Step 1
Install an antivirus. This program should not be neglected in any case. About 90% of Internet viruses can be stopped by an average antivirus program.
Step 2
Install the firewall. Even if the anti-virus software includes a firewall function, be sure to install the additional software. They perform the function of preventing unwanted connections by an order of magnitude better than an anti-virus firewall.
Step 3
Stop sharing all files and folders on your computer. This must be done for all local drives, including USB drives. Remember that even 1 file that is allowed to be shared is a great helper for hackers. Pay special attention to network printers and similar devices.
Step 4
Don't use light passwords. Always set passwords containing both numbers and letters of different case. Use different passwords for e-mail and website accounts.
Step 5
The golden rule of all PC users - never use an administrator account to access the Internet. Create an additional account with minimal features and use it.
