How to save computer from hackers
• Protect Your Computer: Avoid Computer
Holes/Vulnerabilities
• Install only trusted software and delete unknown emails .
• If you have any doubt about a piece of software's
function, do not install it.
• Avoid adult web sites, a hacker's paradise.
• Whether in your e-mail or online, do not click on ads. If
the ad is of interest, find the site. Be careful with what
you physically put into your computer. This is especially
true for shared R/W CDs, USB hard disks, or flash
drives. This is an easy path for a virus to follow from
computer to computer.
