网络上安全的一些基本常识

[B]●Keep Windows up to date[/B] by installing all critical updates.

[B]●Check start-up processes[/B]. Launch Msconfig from the Start menu's Run dialog and click the Startup tab. Look up unfamiliar entries on a site like AnswersThatWork.com to find out what they are and if you can safely disable them.

[B]●Keep all security programs up to date[/B]. This includes antivirus, firewall, and antispyware programs. If possible, set them to update automatically.

[B]●Back up regularly[/B]. See our most recent Utility Guide (www.pcmag.com/utilityguide) for various methods and programs for backing up your files.

[B]●Surf safely[/B]. Set Internet Explorer's Security and Privacy levels to at least Medium, disable third-party cookies, and never click on a button or pop-up dialog without reading it carefully. Never allow a download that you didn't specifically request.

[B]●Be wary of attachments[/B]. Viruses often arrive in e-mail messages with spoofed return addresses, so open only expected attachments from sources you trust.

[B]●Don't swallow the spam[/B]. Tricky social engineering makes clicking on the links in some spam almost irresistible. Check sites like Hoaxbusters (http://hoaxbusters.ciac.org) as well as those of major AV vendors for lists of Internet scams.

[B]●Set up your IM properly[/B]. Allow connections only from users on your buddy list. Disable file sharing, file transfer, and other advanced (but dangerous) features.

[B]●Check for vulnerabilities via assessment sites[/B]. One of our favorites for this is Gibson Research (www.grc.com), home of ShieldsUP! and many other vulnerability assessment tools.

[B]●Keep an eye on those icons[/B]. Antivirus, firewall, and other types of security software place status icons in the system tray. Glance at them every day to make sure they're active and not flashing any alerts.
