Here are some common ways it happens: You can simply make some mistake — accidentally deleting data that you can’t get back because … Read more

Hardware firewalls

A hardware firewall protects all of the computers and other devices on your network, eliminating the need to install a software firewall on each one.

Protecting Your Computer with a Firewall

Windows computers can be attacked in many ways — and not just with viruses, worms, or Trojan horses. Another popular way to attack a Windows computer is to attempt to communicate to it over any of the network “ports” found on Windows computers.

Scrutinizing Security Patches

Figuring Out Why You Need Security Patches

The big software programs that run on PCs today consist of thousands — and sometimes even millions — of lines of source code (the step-by-step instructions that give the program its functionality and personality). That’s a lot to keep track of — and (as with anything made by people) flaws can creep in. Software can … Read more

Scanning Virus after an Update

If suddenly the realization hits that it’s been more than a week since you updated your virus-signature file, you better scan your computer for viruses immediately — particularly if you’re the active type (lots of e-mail, file sharing, file swapping, opening mail from strangers, and other such cyber-exuberance).

Signature updates are your antivirus program’s ammunition. Without regular signature updates, your antivirus program quickly becomes dependent on unreliable ammo — which is to say, practically useless. Fortunately, getting the good new stuff is pretty straightforward, whether you do it manually or automatically. Manual updates Antivirus programs permit you to do signature file updates “on … Read more
