Internet Security

Internet security is an important issue and threats have increased significantly in recent years. The following practices are recommended to best protect against threats.

Use virus protection that is kept updated on a regular basis. One nice thing about Norton Antivirus is that it displays a date indicating how current your virus definitions are.

Use a software firewall. Basic Zone Alarm is free and is available at www.zonelabs.com for download.

Use a Spyware/Adware Scanner. Spybot Search and Destroy is free and is available at www.safer-networking.org
