Resources and tips to protect yourself and your family

  1. Train yourself and your family: Awareness is the first and most important step.  You need to be aware of the threats and be ready to defend yourself or your children.
  1. Add defenses against malware: Malware protection is not a silver bullet.  It is an additional layer of protection that is there in case you are tricked into downloading malware to your device.
  1. Keep your software trusted and up-to-date: Trusted software is from reputable companies, including the vendor that made your operating system.  Also, make sure that you are downloading it from a trusted source (like the website of the vendor). If not, you are running the risk of downloading a trojan horse. The next step is to keep your software up-to-date. Leverage automatic updating features as much as possible.
