Settings-How to keep your PC safe

Have you ever witnessed a virus in your PC? Well if you have, your PC is not protected. This happens to many people everyday. If you suspect you have a virus, respond immediately!

A virus can delete important documents in your computer and give easy access to other people to hack into your computer. Spyware and Malware can cause real damage! Worms, Trojan horses and botnets can disable your computer.

However,if an anti-virus software is downloaded in your computer it will warn you that a virus has injected in your files and you can quickly turn off the computer.

STILL!Be warned because fake anti-virus attacks can still occur. Other ways to keep viruses away from your computer are to keep an email filter on and use a firewall. Also scan everything before you download.

Have you ever been hacked? If you have, it is because you have a very weak password and you have not been going on safe websites.If a stranger sends you something do not open it. Quickly delete it! Inside the file their might be a virus which disables your anti-virus and can open your private documents to the public. No company will ask you about your personal details so be warned!

Social Media is a dangerous place! Numerous reports have indicated that 65% of the UK are hacked on Social Media. That's why it is extremely important to know how to control your settings on it. If you are not a very open person, always keep your account on privacy settings.However, if you are a open person either put your settings to public or most of your friends.

Location-based software is used in many apps and websites, it can tell others where you are. If a app tells you to turn your location-based settings you don't have to agree.Any locations can be in your photos or any type of careless message. So think before you post!Simple things like putting a pin code in your device will save lots of personal information and money.

Be particularly careful when you are using a public WiFi. Don't enter any personal details such as: you bank details or your address for home, school or anywhere. Make sure your WiFi requires a password(usually WPA2 settings)

Be safe online and I hope you have learned a lot from this blog
