How to Secure Your Computer ?

Nowadays, Computers are essential for all types of institutions and businesses. Many businesses are converting their systems from manual to automate and with rapid growth in IT sector; computers have become their important part.

                         

Computer security is very important as computers will get infected and did not work properly. Weather these are home or business computers, security is essential and everyone needs to secure them from hackers, virus and other things which are malicious that may be lurking on the internet.
There are many anti-virus types of software which are available in both forms, free and paid. Without any excuse you must need to install it on your computer. It will detect any virus and protect your PC from any harm.  You must understand that your computer is at risk without any anti-virus. Install new version, as the older version will not catch the virus properly.

                          

Second is the firewall which is also essential when we talk about computer protection. The firewall protects your computer from hackers and other harmful things. These are available in free and paid form, and not difficult to install. Even windows also have this feature built-in in it. Keep it active as it is better than nothing.

                            

After installing these softwares, you need to update these softwares as well as your operation system. All updating with new patches is important as it will fix all kind of errors from normal system errors to vulnerable holes in security. Some softwares also come with auto update feature; you just need to switched on. You also need to scan the USB’s and documents before opening it.
One more thing is important, which is browser type. There are different types of browsers. Actually this is the entrance point for any malware, while accessing internet. According to me, Firefox is the best browser with lots of add-ons. I also prefer Google chrome as it as faster then Firefox, but Firefox some features make it unmatched it.
Lastly one thing which normally people ignored it, is cleaning software. It deleted temporary and old files.  For this purpose, no special skill is required. It is simple and easy.
At the end, if something happens to your computer and it stops working then just stay cool. Just take break and see what might have gone wrong with it. If you are unable to understand it, then simply press restart button. In case the issue is not resolved with restarting then reach out a good technician.
