Install a good antivirus program
It goes without saying that if your computer connects to the internet, installing antivirus software is a must to stop phishing emails reaching your inbox. Getting online not only opens the door to outgoing traffic but incoming as well.
A solid antivirus program will safeguard you from any cybercriminal attacks.
It’s not enough to just install antivirus software. If there are updates, install them immediately. It may be tempting to postpone them since you’re busy, but it’s well worth taking a few minutes to install updates.
Patches find and fix any vulnerabilities your program may have. Malicious attacks take advantage of these vulnerabilities, so by keeping up-to-date with your updates, you plug up any holes scammers may make use of.
