This is my first post on this blog and the indeed the most important one.In this post I will be covering the basic things you should know to protect your computer from getting hacked by some.Remember if you follow these guidelines it will be extremely difficult for a hacker to enter into your pc and to hack your data.As today everything from banking,business,studies etc is online so the threat of being hacked is becoming more and more dangerous.Ok,so listed below are the steps you should follow
Do Not Disclose Your IP Address
This the biggest mistake you could ever do.Never Disclose your IP address to anybody because ip address is the address of your computer.Once the hacker knows the address of your computer it will be easy for him Enter into your home(computer) and steal your accessories ( data and passwords).
Do Not Download any Suspcious Software or Attachments
A lot of people search for cracks and keygens online.Remember this is most exploited method used by the hackers to hack into the pc(personal computer).They usually attach a keylogger or virus with the crack or the keygen.Once you download and install it then your data will be automatically sent to the hacker without your permission.And this might lead to a disaster if you are a online business man because your sensitive information such as paypal account information,e-mail account information can be sent to the hackers.
Use Good Antivirus And Firewall Program
Do not depend upon windows firewall to protect yourself from online hackers.It is always a wise decision to use a good firewall program and do install a good antivirus program.If you dont have enough money right now go for the free antivirus and firewall program but make sure that you have a updated antivirus and a firewall
installed on your computer.
Use Secure Passwords (3D passwords)
Always use 3D passwords to protect your accounts from getting hacked.Your password must contain digits,special symbols like underscore( _ ) and characters.Do not use small passwords.Your password should be at least eight characters long in length.
Always logout From Your Accounts
You should always logout from your accounts instead of closing the browser window directly because whenever you login into your account a cookie is placed by the server into your account and when you logout this cookie is deleted.If you do not logout and the cookie is not deleted the hacker might gain access to this cookie and then he would be able to login into your account from his pc.
Make backup Of Your Data
Some viruses are made to destory your data so it is always advisable to store your data in a backup file.various good data backup programs are available on the internet.
