8. Mark Twain: a pseudonym in G +

Although economic losses from cyber attacks on businesses are usually much more significant for virus contamination of a personal computer, the computer systems of households also kept important information and sometimes of great value for their owners. To prevent loss, there are some simple steps, and within reach of all budgets, as detailed below:

1. Upgrade the operating system, browser, Adobe products and other applications as soon as new updates become available.

Microsoft provides updates the second Tuesday of each month . It is therefore desirable to have automatic updating turned on the computer at that time. Otherwise, go to Control Panel and run Windows Update , which will also update the Microsoft Office suite and other applications of this operating system.

It has found that many of the vulnerabilities of Windows, taking advantage of malware have been patched for months or even years.

In addition, Adobe products, which use the popular format. Pdf, have become common targets of malware, since there are different versions for a wide variety of operating systems. Therefore, it is said that the Adobe software vulnerabilities are “multiplatform” .

Keep in mind that browsers other than Internet Explorer (which is updated through Windows updates) may require an update on their own. For its part, the browser Firefox is configured by default to check for updates automatically. When an update is available, it displays a dialog box allowing the user to log on. For updates to be effective, the browser must be restarted.

It is also useful to know that many applications are updated frequently, so you must find a mechanism for updating them. You can often find a selection update on the Help menu. Thus, most applications will display a window saying when they are available new releases or updates.

2. Make sure your computer is running an antivirus solution that is properly configured and can be updated periodically.

An antivirus solution should be configured to automatically download updates and have active scanning function. We must also bear in mind that the team should be on and connected to the Internet when scheduled updates to occur (usually scan icon appears in the Windows toolbar at the bottom of the desktop). By clicking on the icon usually shows what types of scanning are connected and offers a choice to locate updates. Therefore, there is a bad idea to check back from time to time.

3. Manage spam messages and social networks correctly, if possible.

Threats from Spam consist malicious attachments and links leading to web pages that contain some sort of malware. Basically, do not open attachments and click on the links.

First, do not be into a false sense of security in case of receiving emails forwarded by friends. In fact, there are some malicious code sending infected messages from the computer of a victim, without the same being aware of it.

If you use a webmail service like Yahoo or Gmail , the system filters the message and sends it, being able to detect it as spam and then sending spam to a folder in your email client. If you have not received an e-mail you expected, chances are you are in that folder. It is also advisable to check this section periodically and remove what is there without being read.

4. Learn to recognize threats phishing , spear phishing and false application updates.

These malicious techniques are aimed at stealing passwords, social networks, email or bank accounts.

Do not answer emails purporting to be from your bank or other entity with which it does business, in which you should say “update your account information.” These messages usually include a URL that will most likely not lead to the genuine page. Do not use that URL and you want to update information, go directly to the website of the social network, bank or shop, login and perform the update.

Similarly, the spear phishing is very misleading. Usually goes to the victims by name and often goes to a company’s financial staff or officials who have access to bank account information. These scams usually incorporate attachments that install spyware on the victim’s computer to steal information found in records or files. Spyware can also be installed via emails with links to malicious websites that download malware.

5. Back up important files or even your entire hard disk.

Today, there are many ways to carry it out. The simplest would be to keep important files in a directory and save every day on a USB stick. They are available for all budgets external memory units of large capacity (memories of a terabyte and are common). Many come with software that automatically updates the computer’s hard drive.

On the other hand, the services of backup online allow you to save data from one computer to a remote server over the Internet. Some of these services are free for small amounts of data. A regular service provides storage of 500 GB per month for three.

Also keep in mind that many people overlook two important sources of data, which can make life difficult if they are lost , such as browser bookmarks, address book and mobile phone. Favorites can be lost when migrating to a new computer information and data from a mobile phone … Well, we all know that disasters can happen to these terminals.
