Here are a few tips:
~Activate protection systems.
If your operating system comes standard with a built-in firewall, spam blocker, anti-virus software or other security application, be sure that it's activated. Your Internet service provider may provide an e-mail spam filtering service that should also be turned on.
~Use anti-virus software.
You should always have anti-virus software on your computer. These programs scan all files that are downloaded from e-mail or opened from the hard drive to ensure that they are safe from malware before use. When these programs detect a virus, they are able to isolate and destroy it so it does not infect your computer.

~Update automatically.
Set both your operating system and security programs to update automatically. Your virus-detection software needs to adapt as new threats become known. Allowing the software to do automatic updates will ensure that you always have the highest level of protection.
~Use a secure browser.
If you use an older version of Windows, upgrade your browser to Google Chrome or Firefox. Both of these browsers have built-in features to detect on-line threats.

Only log in as the administrator when making configuration changes to the computer. When the administrator account is used infrequently, the access to change configurations will be more limited to hacking.
You may also want to create an individual user account for each member of the family who uses the computer. This will allow for each person to keep his or her information private.
~Turn off your computer.
When you are not actively using your computer, shut down or disconnect from the Internet. If your computer is on-line less frequently, the chance of access by a malicious source decreases..
