This is the Internet is safe, so it is important that you secure your computer first, and connect with the Internet, but will be in the hands of some of the pirates.

1. Install anti-virus software

Anti-virus software is the first to defend any computer line out there on the Internet without your Leahy takes a very big risk of your precious data and files. Although the Windows operating system and much safe and get after time but pirates still find security holes in your system, you can take it. There are basically two types of anti-virus programs available on the Internet for free, and pay. Both work well, but premium software allows to update the use of more advanced features that are not available in the free version.

This blog gives the program to the public through donations that you can participate easily. After obtaining anti-virus software, and install and update virus definitions in order to maximize its ability to protect them.

2. Change and update your browser

Unfortunately, the most reliable of the last century, the browser is the browser most of the UN and reliable of the 21st century. I'm talking about Microsoft's Internet Explorer. I do not know why Microsoft did not take it seriously and that they are far behind other Internet browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome.So If you are one of those who still use Microsoft Internet Explorer from my friend laptop could ever get a break or virus infection.

If you use another browser than Microsoft's Internet Explorer from essential that you upgrade your browser ever when the new update is available. Generally be released Mozilla Firefox nightly updates every month so it's best to check manually or adjust your auto browser settings so that it can be achieved automatically and update your browsers. Now browsers days additions and accessories are very popular among the young players, but let me tell you that these accessories can be some malicious code injected into the browser even better to not use these additions.

3. Use a firewall program

Just install antivirus software is not enough to make you 100 percent safe system. Now a days have been any anti-virus software with firewalls processing, but unfortunately this is not good for your system. Try to use firewalls as the third part is created by the professional, and they will also provide you with full support for customers.

Firewall is another option which will make sure that all application from your system will fit into your computer. When ever you want to visit some of the sites send your computer signals to the outside world. Now of course these signals must cross the whole world and return to your computer, but the problem is that no one can see your computer on the Internet, and send requests to enter into your system.

It will be completely rejected requests generated by strangers. That way you can easily prevent attacks by hackers. Although the Windows 7 firewall is very good but in addition to that you can also install the ZoneAlarm program, GFI etc.

4. Try to avoid the Adobe Flash Player and Acrobat Reader

You may be wondering what this is. This is the most widely used applications on the Internet, and the reason it is not safe. Yes, but this is the problem with these applications. A popular makes it ideal for hackers to target and thus find security flaws in it. Adobe Flash can not be relied upon so that Apple did not choose to add support for this application in the presence of tools.

Now I know you say that without these programs your business can be carried out so let me tell you some alternatives that can help you. You can use HTML5 instead of Flash, which worlds perfectly fine and recently YouTube is also experimenting with HTML5 in their videos. If this project will be successful, it will also adapt to this technology. Acrobat files, you can use a free alternative, this is Google's Chrome browser. A lot of people do not know that Chrome can also open and read Acrobat files so they go and install it now if you do not have.

5. Stay away from malware sites

One of the main reasons that implements your computer or laptop by some viruses or malicious software is that you have visited some of the bad URL or site which redirects to some malicious websites. These sites consist of websites that give illegal keys and symbols of the program breaks to use in your system. But they know they have the genius of people so that they will do some trick with you and inject some code int you browser. I'm using the browser again and again because it is in the application of the front lines that interact with the world emerges from both sides.

Also stay away from sites that will promise to make you a millionaire over night or give you money. You can imagine that if some body lend you money for free from Why are not doing this money and become rich. So please stay away from these schemes stupid. You can also use the free Anit Malware software to detect these sites.

And last but not least, never accept files from strangers while chatting, via e-mail or other source. Always updated, including virus protection all programs, and the programs you use or Internet browsers.
