How can You Keep Yourself Safe from Hackers?

• Use a Firewall What’s that? You have a hardware firewall? That is excellent, but I still recommend using a software one, as well. Antivirus software will scan incoming files and e-mails but a fire wall stands guard outside the system to block any communications or information exchanges from sources that don’t have your permission. There are a few good free firewalls available, or you can purchase any number of reputable ones.
• Heighten your Browser Security Settings Most hackers target browsers such as Internet Explorer or Netscape. You can find the security feature by going to “Tools” or “Options” on your task bar. You’ll want to set custom settings, so that YOU control your level of security. Why trust it to the company who made the browser? It’s your computer, and your data.
• Consider Port Knocking Port Knocking is a method of externally opening ports on a firewall by generating a connection attempt on a set of pre-specified closed ports. In some routers, this is called a “Port Trigger”. This makes it MUCH more difficult for a hacker to gain access.
• Add a BIOS Password This is a password of your choosing that must be entered before booting the operating system. Also set the Supervisor password in the BIOS so BIOS Setup can’t be entered without it. Also, If you leave your own account logged in, use the Windows Key + L to lock the computer (and/or set the screensaver/power saving) when you step away from the computer and require a password to resume.
• Set Specific User Account Restrictions Make other users “limited” or “regular” accounts. There is an excellent tutorial on the Microsoft website that will guide you through doing this. If it’s your computer… you should be the only one with full administrative access.
