Internet Security

Protecting your computer is important. As technology progresses for good, methods for identity theft and other harmful personal invasions also increase. These methods are most prevalent for the more common used devices such as Windows and Internet Explorer. However, to help keep our computers safe, these companies are developing their own ways to battle security breaches, such as securing browsers.

I myself keep a 24/7 antivirus program up and running, constantly scanning my computer and finding any foreign invaders. Not only is it important to install these programs, but to allow them to update and keep up with the most recent methods to breach your computer.

Although I do have an antivirus program, that does not mean I have a 100% guarantee to not get any viruses. I still have to use my computer and browse the internet the right way. That means not clicking on any random sites and avoiding and deals that seem too good to be true. Because they are.
