NEVER USE WINDOWS' "AUTO-FILL PASSWORDS" OPTION.

WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU MAINTAIN YOUR WEB BROWSER AND OPERATING SYSTEM UPDATED.

Manufacturers offer periodical updates and new versions with improved security. It is important that you install these updates regularly. In order for these updates to be effective, the operating system must be an original.

INSTALL AN ORIGINAL AND UPDATED ANTIVIRUS PROGRAMME REGULARLY.

Protect yourself against new computer threats as they arise. At present, most antivirus programmes include the automatic update option. We suggest that you choose prestigious companies that ensure quick updates against any new threat.

INSTALL A PERSONAL FIREWALL.

A personal firewall is a program that permanently stays in your computer. The programme monitors incoming and outgoing connections and distinguishes between legitimate and harmful ones. The latter are blocked with notification to the user. This type of programme is normally included in the security suites of several manufacturers, which include Antivirus, Firewall, etc.

WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF ORIGINAL PROGRAMMES.

Avoid using pirate or low-quality software or programmes, as these can put the security of your computer and internet communication at risk.
