Internet SecurityEvery file, webpage, or email you open is a potential threat.Everyone with a computer needs a few security programs to protect from viruses, even if it's not online! The risks are exponential with internet surfing, especially for 'always on connections'. How to protect yourself from viruses, trojans, hackers, and malware... Security Basics...Firewalls Malware & PopUps Viruses & Trojans Security Tips & More Help Related SoftwareFirewallsWhen sending and receiving information online, your modem needs an open line of communication with servers, called 'ports'. There are MANY ports to connect by, but only a handful are used by average internet activity, leaving the remaining ports sitting open and vulnerable to hackers. A firewall closes unneeded ports and blocks any questionable attempts to connect to or from the internet.ZoneAlarm is a good firewall, and available as freeware. Malware (Spyware, Adware, etc.) & PopUpsDoes your homepage keep changing? Pop Ups appearing for no apparent reason? Browser windows or programs shutting down on you? You may have malware on your computer.Get rid of malware using AdAware and Spybot S&D. I recommend downloading both, they are freeware. PopUps are not just annoying, they often contain malware. Google browser add-on does a great job at killing pop ups and is also free. Viruses & TrojansDownload our recommended free virus scanner, called AVG, at Grisoft. Or buy the full version of AVG Professional. For extra security, TrendMicro has an online scanner. For continuous security, be sure to update your virus software regularly, and scan often to keep your computer safe.Miscellanious Security Tips
