Internet Safety is difficult. yet critical. Here are the eight key steps to internet safety - steps to keep your computer safe on the internet.
by <http://ask-leo.com/who_is_leo.html> Leo A. Notenboom, <http://ask-leo.com/ask_leo_terms_conditions_privacy_and_policies.html#copyr ight> C 2013
Viruses & Spyware & Worms ... oh my!
The very concept of "Internet Safety" is almost an oxymoron these days.
It seems like not a day goes by where we don't hear about some new kind of threat aimed at wreaking havoc across machines connected to the internet. Anti-Microsoft sentiment coupled with the massive installed base make
Microsoft products, and particularly Microsoft Windows, an irresistible
target for hackers and "script kiddies". In recent years, products like
Adobe Reader, Java, Flash, Firefox and more have come under attack as their popularity has increased. Even the Macintosh is no longer invulnerable.
Here are some things you can, and should, do to stay safe.
.
1. Use a Firewall
Firewall: A firewall is a barrier between something that is potentially dangerous and something that you want to keep safe. The term comes from the automotive industry where ... <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/firewall/>
continue reading.
From the <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/> Ask Leo! Glossary
A firewall is a piece of software or hardware that sits between your
computer and the network and only allows certain types of data to cross. For example, a firewall may allow checking email and browsing the web, but
disallow things like Windows file sharing.
If you're connected to the internet through a router, then you already have
a type of <http://ask-leo.com/internet_safety_8_steps_to_keeping_your_computer_safe_on _the_internet.html?awt_l=DOjAx&awt_m=J7iWRAUzKZdfbL> hardware firewall preventing random networking-based external threats from reaching your computer(s).
If you're using a dial-up internet connection, a firewall may not be as important, although it doesn't hurt to have one. A software firewall may be your only option, though.
* <http://ask-leo.com/whats_a_firewall_and_how_do_i_set_one_up.html> What's a firewall, and how do I set one up?
* <http://ask-leo.com/do_i_need_a_firewall_and_if_so_what_kind.html>

2. Scan for Viruses
Virus: A virus is a computer program written by someone presumably with the intent of spreading and causing grief. Like a human virus, a virus makes the infected computer "sick": it causes poor performance, crashes, lost files,
and data, or more. Also like a human virus, a <http://ask-leo.com/internet_safety_8_steps_to_keeping_your_computer_safe_on _the_internet.html?awt_l=DOjAx&awt_m=J7iWRAUzKZdfbL> computer virus... <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/virus/> continue reading.
From the <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/> Ask Leo! Glossary
Sometimes, typically via email or other means, viruses are able to cross the firewall and end up on your computer anyway.
A virus scanner will locate and remove them from your hard disk. A real-time virus scanner will notice them as they arrive, even before they hit the
disk, but at the cost of slowing down your machine a little, and
occasionally even interfering with other operations.
Important: Because new viruses are arriving every day, it is critical to
keep your <http://ask-leo.com/internet_safety_8_steps_to_keeping_your_computer_safe_on _the_internet.html?awt_l=DOjAx&awt_m=J7iWRAUzKZdfbL> virus definitions up-to-date. Be sure to enable the scanning software's automatic-update
feature and have it do so every day.

3. Scan for Spyware

<http://ask-leo.com/internet_safety_8_steps_to_keeping_your_computer_safe_on _the_internet.html?awt_l=DOjAx&awt_m=J7iWRAUzKZdfbL> Spyware: Spyware is a class of <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/malware/> malware
that, as its name implies, is typically designed to spy on you or your computer, silently collecting information that is subsequently sent on to others for typically nefarious purposes. Various forms of ... <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/spyware/> continue reading.
From the <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/> Ask Leo! Glossary
Spyware is similar to viruses in that they arrive unexpected and unannounced and proceed to do something undesired. Spyware can be relatively benign from
a pure safety perspective, as it might "only" spy on you. But that's enough.
It can violate your privacy by tracking the web sites that you visit, add "features" to your system that you didn't ask for, or record your <http://ask-leo.com/internet_safety_8_steps_to_keeping_your_computer_safe_on _the_internet.html?awt_l=DOjAx&awt_m=J7iWRAUzKZdfbL> keystrokes and steal
your account login information for any online services that you might use.
Some of the worst offenders are spyware that hijack normal functions for themselves. For example, some like to redirect your web searches to other
sites to try and sell you something. Of course, some spyware is so poorly written that it might as well be a virus, given how unstable it can make
your system. The good news is that, like virus scanners, there are <http://ask-leo.com/internet_safety_8_steps_to_keeping_your_computer_safe_on _the_internet.html?awt_l=DOjAx&awt_m=J7iWRAUzKZdfbL> spyware scanners that
will locate and remove the offending software.

4. Stay Up-To-Date
Vulnerability: A vulnerability is a bug or design flaw in software that
allows that software to be used in some malicious and unintended way. All software has bugs, which are nothing more than ... <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/vulnerability/> continue reading.
From the <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/> Ask Leo! Glossary
I'd wager that over 90% of virus infections don't have to happen. Software vulnerabilities that malware exploits usually already have fixes available
by the time the virus reaches a computer.
The problem? The user simply failed to install the latest updates that would have prevented the infection in the first place.
The solution is simple: enable automatic updates in both Windows and applications, and visit <http://go.ask-leo.com/winupdate> Windows Update periodically.
*

* <http://ask-leo.com/from_where_should_i_get_driver_updates.html>
From where should I get driver updates?
5. Educate Yourself

<http://ask-leo.com/internet_safety_8_steps_to_keeping_your_computer_safe_on _the_internet.html?awt_l=DOjAx&awt_m=J7iWRAUzKZdfbL> Phishing: Phishing is
the attempt to represent one's self - typically via email - as someone or
some organization that you are not for the purposes of maliciously acquiring sensitive information. The most common examples are ... <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/phishing/> continue reading.
From the <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/> Ask Leo! Glossary
To be blunt, all of the protection in the world won't save you from
yourself.
* Don't open attachments that you aren't positive are OK; attachments
are one of the most common ways that malware sprads.
* Don't fall for phishing scams. Be skeptical. Phishing is a common
way that online accounts are hacked into, and can lead to more serious
issues like <http://ask-leo.com/internet_safety_8_steps_to_keeping_your_computer_safe_on _the_internet.html?awt_l=DOjAx&awt_m=J7iWRAUzKZdfbL> identity theft.
* Don't click on links in email that you aren't positive are safe.
* Don't install "free" software without checking it out first - many "free" packages are so because they come loaded with spyware, <http://ask-leo.com/internet_safety_8_steps_to_keeping_your_computer_safe_on _the_internet.html?awt_l=DOjAx&awt_m=J7iWRAUzKZdfbL> adware, and worse.
When visiting a web site, did you get a pop-up asking if it's OK to install some software that you're not sure of because you've never heard of it?
Don't say "OK".
Not sure about some security warning that you've been given? Don't ignore
it, research it before doing anything.
And of course choose <http://ask-leo.com/internet_safety_8_steps_to_keeping_your_computer_safe_on _the_internet.html?awt_l=DOjAx&awt_m=J7iWRAUzKZdfbL> secure passwords and
don't share them with anyone.

them access to my computer. What do I do now?
6. Secure Your Home Network and Your Mobile Connection
Wifi - open: Open wifi is any WiFi connection that has not been configured
with a password. Anyone with a WiFi-capable device can connect to an open
WiFi hotspot. If a password is used on a WiFi connection, then ... <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/wifi-open/> continue reading.
From the <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/> Ask Leo! Glossary
If you're traveling and using internet hot spots, free WiFi, hotel-provided internet, or internet cafes, you must take extra precautions.
Make sure that your web email access - or for that matter any sensitive
website access is only via secure (https) connections or that your regular
mail program is configured to use encrypted connections as well. Don't let people "shoulder surf" and steal your password by watching you type it in a public place.
Make sure that your home WiFi has WPA security enabled, if anyone can walk within range, and that you've changed your router's administrative password.

my router?
*
<http://ask-leo.com/does_sharing_a_router_make_me_vulnerable_to_those_i_shar e_with.html> Does sharing a router make me vulnerable to those I share with?
7. Don't forget the physical
Encryption: Encryption is the process of mathematically processing data
using an encryption "key" - such as a password or passphrase - in such a way that ... <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/encryption/> continue reading.
From the <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/> Ask Leo! Glossary
An old computer adage is that "if it's not physically secure, it's not
secure."
All of the precautions that I've listed above are pointless if other people
can get at your computer. A thief can easily get at all of the unencrypted
data on your computer if they can physically get to it. Even login passwords can be trivially bypassed if someone has access to your computer.
The common scenario is a laptop being lost or stolen during travel, but I've also received many reports of people who've been burned because a family member, friend, significant-other or roommate accessed their computer
without their knowledge.

Administrator account, how do I get it back?
8. Back Up
image backup: An image backup is a complete copy of a hard disk or other
media being backed up. The copy is complete in that it can be restored to a completely empty hard drive - as in a replacement hard drive after a failure
- and the result is ... <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/image-backup/>
continue reading.
From the <http://glossary.ask-leo.com/> Ask Leo! Glossary
I know that backing up doesn't feel like a "security" measure, but
ultimately it can be one of the most powerful ways to recover if you even encounter a security related issue.
Having a recent backup to restore to can quickly undo the damage done by
almost any form of malware.
Having a back copy of your data (all your data) can help you recover after computer is lost or stolen (not to mention when a hard disk dies).
Backing up your email and contacts can be a critical way to restore your
world should your online account ever be compromised.
Backups truly are the silver bullet of the computing world: a proper and
recent backup can help save you from just about any disaster, including security issues.

Overwhelming? It Might Seem So, But...
I know it all might seem overwhelming, but please believe me when I say that it's not nearly as overwhelming as an actual security problem if and when it happens to you.
The good news is that the majority of the things you need to do to stay safe
on the internet are things that you setup once and let happen automatically thereafter, or new habits you form yourself based on the important things
that you learn about keeping things secure.
While we might want it to be otherwise, the practical reality of the
internet and computing today is that we each must take responsibility for
our own security online.
