Stay secure! Here are 4 Golden Rules to help maintain your online protection:
– Never open an unexpected attachment in your email. Whether it appears to be from a friend or business, or promises something “scandalous,” it may be a virus. This is a common trick by cybercriminals.
– Ensure your security software is fully up to date. Out-of-date security is useless against new threats. To make sure you’re fully covered, run full scans of all your computers regularly.
– Change your passwords every 3 months. This helps prevent others from accessing your accounts. Identity Safe from Norton can help you manage passwords. Did we mention it’s completely free?
– Back up your stuff. Always. Your main hard drive could fail unexpectedly. Always have at least one full backup of your files, if not two. External USB drives are inexpensive now.
