Welcome to my Security Center, where you can find all the information, checklists, and software tools that you need to immunize your computer against the all the threats you face in today’s digital world.
You know me, I’ve always told you that to stay safe in the physical world you needed to take steps to secure your home and office and watch out for criminals. Well, the same thing holds true in the digital world. If you haven’t done it already, the first two things to do are to immunize your computer and transform your approach the Internet.
Step One: Install the digital locks and secure your computer with software, and keep that software up to date. Here’s what you need:
- Anti-Virus software to protect you against computer viruses
- Personal Firewall software to protect you from hackers
- Spyware software to keep the snoops out
- Anti-Spam software to stop the flood of unwanted email scams
- Anti-Phishing software to protect you from online identity theft
- Parental Control/Child Protection software to keep your kids safe online
- Internet safety software that warns you about dangerous websites BEFORE you go to them
You can get this software, by visiting our Security Center Online Store.
But to be as safe as you can be, you need to do more. Learn how to use that software and keep it up-to-date. In fact, most security software updates itself automatically.
You also need to get smart about cyber crime. Can you spot it? And do you know how to stop it? It’s not as hard as you might think. I’ve talked with the experts and prepared a booklet and some checklists to keep you on track.
Step Two: You know about the dangers in the physical world. You can see them and even sometimes sense them. Now it’s time to learn about threats that abound on the Internet and how to protect both yourself and those you care about. I’ve created a booklet for you called Mind What You Do Online. Download it today and then read it. Also, be sure to review the checklists I’ve created to help keep you on track:
That’s how you can start to “Take a Bite Out of Cyber Crime."
