Answer 2

You need to be smart about what you say when visiting sites on the internet; you usually don't want to give out sensitive information unless it is with a vendor that you have a prior business relationship.

Using anti-virus software, a firewall, and anti-spyware are musts as well. Your system should be up to date with all security patches, etc.

Don't click on links to sites that you do not know; the same is true for email attachments. Never open an email attachment from unsolicited emails.

1) Back up your hard drive regularly. A $100 external drive can back up years of files with ease.

2) Encrypt the files on your drive, or the entire drive, using BitLocker or EFS.

3) Use a firewall that is properly configured. Even Windows Firewall will fully protect you if set up right, but many third-party firewalls do it better. Use a hardware firewall at the router if possible instead of relying on software.

4) Use an anti-virus program. Avast! and Windows Defender are two good, free solutions, but feel free to use your own research on this topic.

5) Make sure your user account has a password, and that the password is secure.

6) Make sure UAC is enabled, if available, and use only a normal user account instead of an administrative account.

7) Make sure your NTFS permissions and shares are set up in way that grants very specific access depending on needs; do not allow "Everyone" all access on any drive that you care to keep tucked away.

8) Make sure your computer is not easily physically accessible. Don't leave it in the car when you can help it, for example, or in other places where it can be easily stolen.

Answer 4

For protection of privacy gives many softwares that lock folders with a specified password, install a anti-hacker and anti-spyware software on your computer so no one can get through to it and of course a anti virus, and dont forget(this thing is actually obviously) set a password to your user.

Answer 5

The simplest way is to not give out any information you don't want the world to know. Your first name is usually all you should give out, sometimes last name would be okay. Never, under any circumstance, give out your phone number or any email address you care about. Think of the internet as a stranger. I'm fine if a stranger knows my name is "Lucas", but I might be wary of giving out my last name on such an open website. If you want absolute security (for a short term), you could use TOR, a program that wires your connection through many other computers to keep you truly anonymous.
