How to protect your computer In a Dozen Steps

  1. Run a virus protection program at least twice a month, (unless you use the Internet, or E-mail a lot, then run it more.)
  2. Download Spybot here- http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html and run it once every two weeks, (unless you use the Internet, or E-mail a lot, then run it more.)
  3. Don't open up e-mail attachments from an unknown sender. (Especially if you get an e-mail that says something like "Congratulations you have won ten thousands dollars, just open up the e-mail attachment!")
  4. Be careful of fake error messages. An error message that is real won't scroll up and down with the page. Also, your pointer will become a hyperlink 'hand' over fake error messages.
  5. Password protect your computer and files, with a good password ("Password" is not a good password)
  6. Always log out whenever you leave your computer.
  7. Keep your computer in a well ventilated area.
  8. Use a surge protecor.
  9. Don't use your computer during a lighting storm.
  10. Don't drink or eat when using your computer.
  11. Don't keep it in the open, where its easy to steal.
  12. Always back up your files.
