Some common types of malware are:

Viruses
Spyware

Internet Security
 
  Computers with high-speed connections  have a potentially higher chance of security breaches.  Internet security is an important issue.
 

Connect a router with a built-in hardware firewall to your high-speed cable or DSL modem.  Connect more than one computer to a single internet connection wired or wireless.
Provide education on the importance of your web browser. Your browser is the portal where a majority of internet traffic enters your computer, and unknown to most, there are many different browsers to choose from.

 

 


 Windows
  
  
  The operating system of most computers (Windows) is what runs EVERYTHING. If your installation of Windows is not maintained and updated properly you will eventually have problems, such as slow computer performance or even full system failure.
