Antivirus Tip: Never leave a PC or device unattended. If you know you’re going to be gone for anytime longer than 10 minutes, lock it or shut it down.

Antivirus Tip: Use a password manager program to not only manage all your passwords, but encrypt them, too. Writing down passwords on a notepad is smart.

Antivirus Tip: Restarting your device typically clears the memory of minor errors. If they persist, back up all your data and then perform a factory reset.

Antivirus Tip: A sign that your device is infected is sudden sluggish performance and programs running without a prompt. Scan and clear out threats immediately.

Antivirus Tip: No network or system can be 100 per cent secure, but taking precautions helps. Get protection according to how risky your work is.

Antivirus Tip: Keep a ready list of easy ‘how to’ instructions for guests to make it easier to navigate the security you have set up on your PC and network.

Antivirus Tip: Set up a software/ hardware firewall to protect the network against threats, such as an internet firewall and a physical barrier to the server.

Antivirus Tip: Keep track of all the devices connected to your network like printers, computers, etc. This makes spotting unauthorised devices easier.
