VIRUSES & ETDS
 Most are developed by hackers
 Anti-Virus programs are good, but can’t always help you
 It’s fairly easy to protect yourself, as long as you know what to do:
 BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU CLICK ON!
 Make sure you can trust websites you are visiting
 If they are “trying too hard” to get a click – don’t do it
 Don’t trust official-looking anti-virus warnings
 Be aware of your AV brand
 If it’s asking for money, be VERY careful
 Just because it says “Microsoft, doesn’t mean it’s legit” (or Adobe, etc…)
 Viruses can’t run unless you give permission or access
ROUTERS & FIREWALLS
 Any router is better than nothing
 Almost any router will provide basic protection from most attacks
 Router VS Firewall
 Router is usually simply a device for connecting computers and sharing internet and
network resources

Most routers have at least some firewall functionality built in
 A firewall is a must more advanced version of a router which actively inspects network and
internet traffic for potential problems
 Routers and Firewalls cannot always protect from viruses
 Some firewalls can inspect files for malicious content
 Must always be updated and relevant for current attacks
 Hackers use viruses (especially Trojans) to get access thru firewalls
 Most Important – routers/firewalls manage ports and traffic
SERVERS & PASSWORDS
