Secure PC

A pc is secured when there is minimal unauthorized personal information (because of cookies) and no system disruption due to virus. These are the steps to take to secure your pc.

1.Turn on the built in windows firewall (for XP and Vista).
Firewall allows only authorized (by you) programs to be downloaded.
Go to:

Start next Control panel next windows firewall

then check ON.

2.Turn on the automatic updates.
Automatic updates allow your computer to receive patches for windows and its softwares.

Start next Control panel next Automatic update

then check on automatic

3.Get an Anti virus and spyware software.
These softwares prevent virus and spware to be downloaded into your pc.

4.Surf the web carefully.
Beware of what you download from the web. It may contain virus.
I remember downloading a pdf and it contained virus.
