System Security Checklist

mwb design solutions, LLC can not emphasize this enough. Protecting your system is your responsibility,

- Keep Windows patched using Windows Update
- Use an antivirus program with updated signatures (daily!)
- Use a spyware scanner and keep it up to date
- Patch your applications (MS Office, Adobe Reader, etc.)
- Use caution when reading e-mail attachments
- Read before you click dialogs and license agreements

Some people have a fear of updating a system using the old adage, "Why fix something that isn't broken?", However, our experience shows updates applied regularly and properly are far more safer than ignoring them. The greatest threat is from the security vulnerabilities of stale software.

Here are some links to help you find and fight security threats:

Virus Protection:
Free AVG Anti-Virus
 
Spyware Removal:
Ad-Aware Lavasoft spyware removal
Spybot Search and Destroy
 
Security and Firewalls:
ZoneAlarm
 
Windows Update:
Updates for patches and security patches
