27 5 RULES FOR SAFETY

28 1. KEEP YOUR SOFTWARE UP TO DATE Even if your computer comes off the shelf with a level of protection, threats change daily. So it's imperative you keep it up-to-date or else it's useless. For Windows 7, just click on "Start", go to Control Panel, select ALL PROGRAMS and click the "Windows Update" icon, where it will show you if there are any updates for your PC. The same goes for users with Windows 8 or XP. The same goes for dedicated antivirus software Keep it up-to-date, and do a full system scan once a week even if your software regularly scans your system

30 2. PROTECT YOUR ONLINE IDENTITY With more and more of us using the web to bank online and do other sensitive tasks, coming up with solid passwords is more vital than ever. It may seem obvious, but don't use the same login for lots of sites. If one falls into the wrong hands, your whole online life is up for grabs. Remembering lots of different ones is tricky, so try picking one and just add a few letters to it related specifically to each site you're logging into. Ensure you change your passwords frequently. BUT DO REMEMBER THEM!!!

31 3. NEVER OPEN UNKNOWN ATTACHMENTS Most web crime still happens via , so be on guard when checking yours. Don't open any attachments you're not expecting, or click any random links you find in the text If you're unsure if a site's legitimate, put the name into Google and see what comes up. It may be listed as a scam.

32 POLICE SCAM

33 CryptoLocker CryptoLocker is Trojan horse malware which surfaced in late A form of ransomware targeting computers running Windows, a CryptoLocker attack may come from various sources; one such is disguised as a legitimate attachment. When activated, the malware encrypts certain types of files stored on local and mounted network drives using RSA public-key cryptography, with the private key stored only on the malware's control servers. The malware then displays a message which offers to decrypt the data if a payment is made by a stated deadline, and says that the private key will be deleted and unavailable for recovery if the deadline passes. PAYMENTS NORMALLY $ If the deadline is not met, the malware offers to decrypt data via an online service provided by the malware's operators, for a significantly higher price in Bitcoin.

35 4. ONLY DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE FROM TRUSTED SITES Looking for a piece of software? Find out which company makes it first and then go to its site to get it, rather than a third party site found via Google. For smaller free or shareware programs, try using big sites such as Download.com, rather than just getting them from anywhere that shows up. When using torrents, avoid.exe files wherever possible. If you must tempt fate, make sure they're thoroughly scanned first.

36 BE CAREFUL EVEN FROM OFFICIAL SITES LOOK FOR THE TICKS!!

37 WIRELESS ROUTER SECURITY MAKE SURE YOUR ROUTER CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED WITH THE PROVISION OF A WIRELESS SECURITY KEY IF YOU ARE NOT SURE GET SOME ADVICE!!

38 5. SWITCH IT OFF!! Switching your computer off when you aren't using it doesn't just save energy, it stops others accessing it while you're away. At the very least, disconnect your broadband when you don't need the web. While your PC's on, and after you've been browsing, is a prime time for malware (malicious software) attacks. So switching it off is a good preventative measure.
