| What Mom Should Have Told You About Safe Surfing |
Lock your door! Use a software firewall that gives you control over which programs
can access your Internet connection. Don't depend on the Windows XP firewall,
though; it only controls incoming access. If you pick up the wrong bug, your system
could quickly become the tool of Internet hackers, sending out tons of spam or even
malicious software. My personal favorite is the free ZoneAlarm Firewall. If you're still
using Windows ME or 98, you can also try this basic, free Outpost firewall. It's one of
the few that's still supporting the older Windows operating systems.
Keep your house clean! Viruses can infect your system in all kinds of ways and from
all different directions. Email, downloads, images, shared files, shared disks and even
"thumb-drives"... All of these could infect your system with potentially lethal
consequences. This free version of AVG Antivirus will help you get the bugs out and
keep them out.
Don't pick up hitchhikers! Spyware has become an even more pervasive problem
than viruses. Hidden within the smallest application can be a program that tracks your
every move on the Internet, reports back to a remote host without your knowledge, or
even steals private information from your computer records. Put a stop to it with this
free Spybot Search-And-Destroy. Unlike anti-virus software, you can run multiple
anti-spyware programs on your system so I'd also recommend the Windows Defender
program.
