A few tips to ensure the safety of your information! - windows 7 was my idea - 30-09-2011
Heres a few steps to help you protect the information on your computer
1. Use a strong password for everything (Letters numbers and smybols + uppercase/lowercase)
2. Don't use the same password for every account you have
3. Don't use the administrator account as a normal every day account ( if you get a virus they will have full control like an admin )
4. Don't store your passwords/Sensitive information on your computer in plain text
5. Use sufficient anti virus protection (malware bytes pro/microsoft security essentials, comdo firewall)
6. Be smart about what you download, before downloading things look at the reviews or the quality of the person thats sharing the download
7. Down download porn, if you really must have porn just stream it.
8. To be continued.
Cheers and good luck!
