Here are 10 tips to keep your computer safe and up-to-date

I frequently receive inquiries from clients seeking advice on enhancing their web safety and securing their computers. Here are some valuable tips I would suggest to address these concerns:

Keep your computer programs, operating system, and applications up to date by regularly installing patches and updates.
Use strong and unique passwords for all your online accounts and consider utilizing a password manager to securely store them.
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) whenever possible to add an extra layer of security to your accounts.
Be cautious when clicking on links or opening attachments in emails, especially if they are unexpected or from unknown sources.
Install reputable antivirus and anti-malware software and keep it updated to detect and prevent potential threats.
Regularly back up your important files and data to an external storage device or a cloud-based backup service.
Use a virtual private network (VPN) when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks to encrypt your internet traffic and protect your sensitive information.
Be mindful of the information you share online and on social media platforms, adjusting your privacy settings to limit access to your personal data.
Regularly review and adjust the privacy settings on your devices, web browsers, and online accounts to control the information collected about you.
Educate yourself about common online threats and scams to recognize and avoid potential risks, such as phishing attempts and fraudulent websites.
