Finding the right Security Suite for your PC

Before proceeding it is essential you understand and appreciate that there's no such thing as a 100% secure operating system or web browser. While the use of security suites and other complementing products can significantly reduce your risks, they are not magic wands that you can wave to eliminate 100% of your risk. However, your risk can be dramatically minimalized by taking the right steps toward securing your system.

There are numerous ways in which the security of your computer can be breached. The most common threats come from worms, viruses, Trojans, phishing, hackers and crackers. Potential security breaches can come in the form of downloading unfamiliar email attachments, your system being monitored by spyware, maliciously attacked by malware, or probed through port scanning.

Port scanning involves a person (referred to as a hacker or cracker) who attempts to break into you computer through the open ports in your system. Once an open port is located, the individual attempts to collect your personal data or install a malware program into you computer. It is estimated that there are literally billions of port scanning attempts each month. It is reported that an unprotected Windows machine will survive only 2 hours before becoming infected. This makes securing your computer a critical mission.

Here are a few easy steps you can take to immediately protect your PC.

1. Don’t run unfamiliar programs on your computer. It sounds like common sense, but many of the most prominent attacks have involved spyware and email attachment worms. If you don’t recognize the sender, don’t download its attachments.

2. Don’t allow unrestricted physical access to your computer. If you have sensitive or proprietary information on your computer, allowing other employees or family members to use your computer can lead to potential breaches in your computer’s security.

3. Don’t use weak passwords. Use passwords which are difficult for someone to figure out. People frequently use the names of children, pets, anniversary dates, or birthdays. Because there seems to be a password needed for everything, it is not uncommon to see many people using the same password for everything. Big mistake! The use of only one password provides a hacker with easy access to a smorgasbord of personal information. If you have to write your passwords down, it is best not to leave them on a post-it, attached to the screen of your computer. You may chuckle at the absurdity, but it happens more than you think.

4. Don’t forget to regularly patch (update) your operating system and other applications. Many industry experts believe that most network security attacks would be stopped if computer users would just keep their computers updated with patches and security fixes. Too often, we forget to do this on a regular basis. Remember that every day, new viruses, worms and Trojans are being created and distributed. They are looking for the weaknesses in your computer system. Having outdated software is basically the same as holding the door open and inviting them in for a visit.

5. Don’t forget to make regular backups of important data. Always keep a copy of important files on removable media such as tape, recordable cd-rom and dvd disks, etc.Store the backups in a location separate from the computer.

Selecting a Antivirus Software

The next question is how do you pick the best product for your needs? You start by asking yourself a series of questions. Do you need password protection for individual files, your desktop, a network, or to block someone’s access to the Internet? Is your computer used only by you or do multiple users have access to the computer? How many users in total do you expect on your computer? What are your system requirements? How much do you want to spend?

Once you are able to answer these questions, you can begin to research which security suite will best meet your needs. Product reviews and user statements provide a great starting point. There are numerous security suites available on the market. Take the time to choose the one that meets your specific needs.
