Security

A virus could attack your computer at any time without you even knowing it. Therefore it is imperative that you are aware of the possible computer crimes that you could encounter, and how to protect yourself from them. Especially, your work computer needs to have a firewall or other antivirus program installed to prevent these risks.

Unauthorized access is the use of a computer or network without permission. To prevent this hacking, it is very important that you use passwords and user names as access controls. For instance, you can even set your preferences on your computer that forces users to enter in a password or set of digits to even turn on your computer.

Also, you need to be aware of spam ware. Spam is an unsolicited e-mail message or newsgroup posting sent to multiple recipients at once. A picture of a cute little kitten may pop up in your inbox, but beware that it is possible that it may be an encrypted message. It could ultimately destroy your computer. Programs such as Antivirus and firewal can protect you from these attacks.

Taking preventative measures to secure your computer is not just an option, it is an imperative precaution that you must take. Sleep easy at night knowing that you will not be receiving any cookies or spam that could destroy your computer. Your employees can feel safe that their personal information such as social security numbers and credit information is safe as well.
