2. Install a personal firewall. Both SyGate (_www.sygate.com) and ZoneAlarm (_www.zonelabs.com) offer free versions.
3. Install a free spyware blocker. SpyBot is also paranoid and ruthless in hunting out tracking cookies. Readmore about SpyBot Search & Destroy and Download From Here.
4. Block pop-up spam messages. Open Control Panel | Administrative Tools | Services and you'll see Messenger. Right-click and go to Properties. Set Start-up Type to Disabled and press the Stop button. Any good firewall will also stop them.
5. Use strong passwords and change them periodically. Passwords should have at least seven characters; use letters and numbers and have at least one symbol. This will make it much harder for anyone to gain access to your accounts.
6. If you're using Outlook or Outlook Express, use the latest version or one with the Outlook Security Update installed. The update and current versions patch numerous vulnerabilities.
7. Buy antivirus software and keep it up to date. If you're not willing to pay, try AVG Free Edition (Grisoft Inc., w*w.grisoft.com). You can get Eset smart secutiry latest version for free from our blog also. Click Here to Read More about ESET smart security 2014 with crack.
8. If you have a wireless network, turn on the security features: Use MAC filtering, turn off SSID broadcast, and even use WPA or WPA PSK2 with the biggest key you can get.
9. Join a respectable e-mail security list, so that you learn about emerging threats quickly and can take proper precautions.
10. Be skeptical of things on the Internet. Don't assume that e-mail "From:" a particular person is actually from that person until you have further reason to believe it's that person. Don't assume that an attachment is what it says it is. Don't give out your password to anyone, even if that person claims to be from "support."
