Security Tips
Stay Patched
Make sure you have the most current patches that address security holes in your computer’s operating system and applications. As software vendors discover vulnerabilities in their applications, they make fixes available in the form of patches or service packs.
If you use Microsoft® Windows™, subscribe to the Microsoft Windows Update Service.
From the Start programs menue, open the Control Panel and select System Properties.
Click on the “Automatic Updates” tab and make sure that automatic updates is enabled. Consider installing the Windows XP Service Pack 2, which will keep Internet Explorer patched.
Note, that even the Mozilla’s FireFox web browser has security patches available (you’ll notice the green up arrow in the upper right corner of the toolbar). Check with your other software vendors for patches and updates.
Update your anti-virus software
Threats are on the increase, and they are constantly evolving. Hundreds of viruses are discovered each month. To make sure that you are protected against the newest breed of threats, update your anti-virus software frequently. That means downloading the latest virus signature files and the most current version of the scanning engine.
