Security Tips

Today I want to give you some security tips which can help you in keeping yours computer free from Trojan, Viruses etc.

First of all let me tell you don't use pirated software because such softwares mostly (95%) contains viruses, trojan etc. Lots of people use torrent to download pirated software. But I will not recommend you to use pirated software.

Always keep an antivirus into yours computer. I will recommend you to have KasperSky Anti-virus as for me it is the best anti-virus in current market.

Always update yours anti-virus so that it can detect new viruses.

Whenever you plug yours pen drive always scan it before using. Not only pendrive but even if you use memory card reader to read yours memory card even scan them.

Never download .exe, .scr, .com files from any unknown website or e-mail.

If you are giving access to yours PC to someone else then I will suggest you to give them on Guest account or create one Limited user account using control panel.

To enable Guest account click on Start then click on Run. Type CONTROL and click on OK. Click on USER ACCOUNTS click on GUEST and finally click on TURN ON THE GUEST ACCOUNT.

To create Limited user account click on Start then click on Run. Type CONTROL and click on OK.
Click on USER ACCOUNTS click on CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT. Just type any name for that account and then click on Next. Choose Limited and then click on Create Account.

By using GUEST account or LIMITED user account even if the user by mistake opens any file which has virus then it will only spread to that account and it will not spread to yours original account. So if you want to remove those virus then just log back to yours administrator account and then Delete that account which has been effected by the virus.

In my next post I will tell you more about USER ACCOUNTS. I will explain more how it will save yours computer from virus and how it can save yours important files.

  1. Kaspersky ain't a good antivirus if you don't have a good processor . I should advice to use nod32 , smart security , mcafee, avg , comodo , and beware of bitdefender and kaspersky if you have a slower pc.
