Let's talk about basic computer security. What you need to be safe while working on your laptop/computer. Is antivirus everything you need, if not what else?
These days we have so many threats. "Good old" viruses are nothing compare to other malicious software.
I will talk about 8 different things you have to consider:
1. Antivirus - ramble about different options
2. Firewall - what that is and why is very important. Differences between hardware and software firewalls.
3. Key Scrambler - what that is and how this will defend you. Especially from stealing your logins, passwords, bank details.
4. Browser extensions - plugins to your web browser to help to protect you [ex: 3rd party cookies]
5. Clean your OS - your operating system after some time require good cleaning from all the junk that has been gathered from internet browsing.
6. Update your OS - protect yourself from hackers who look for security holes
7. Encryption - encrypt your data. We don't want anyone to have access to our photos and other important for us things.
8. Email alias - due to data breaches we are constantly at risk of losing our account details like login and passwords. Don't use 1 email address for everything. Have a few different things.
