In the modern network there are many viruses, or so-called "keyloggers", whose purpose is to remove personal data from your computer, such as login and password to a messenger, an account on any website or access to mailboxes. Such viruses are downloaded along with data from the Internet, installed on your computer, import data from browsers and send it to cybercriminals. However, not every computer can be hacked so easily.
Necessary
- - antivirus;
- - the Internet;
- - browser.
Instructions
Step 1
Use a tried and true antivirus. Good antivirus software doesn't have to cost a lot. But what a good antivirus should have is constant updates from the server, which contain information about new viruses and how to deal with them. Do not ignore the messages and advice of the antivirus, and do not disable this program on your computer.
Step 2
Do not run files with the -exe and -bat extensions that you are not sure about. Viruses can be hidden in archives and even in photographs. Moreover, you should not run the file if your antivirus has reported a threat. You should also not go to the page in the browser if the antivirus reported malicious content.
Step 3
Update the browser you are using. If possible, do not store passwords and logins to sites in the browser itself, enter them manually. Do not use simple combinations of characters, as they are easy to guess with simple password cracking programs. Do not share your personal information with anyone. Do not believe the letters in which the "administrators" of any site report lost data and ask to send it again. No self-respecting site will send out such letters.
Step 4
If your friends reported that spam is being sent from your account in the messenger, and messages that you did not send on the social network are sent on your behalf, urgently use the password recovery service, change the password and the specified email address, and also inform the administration of the social site. hacking networks.
Step 5
High-quality antivirus and careful attention to your personal data will save you from hacking your account and save time and nerves. Do not be too gullible to the downloaded information and sites - there will certainly be those who want to take advantage of your gullibility.
