Hackers are not interested in Me.

I have a great virus-scan program on my computer-that’s all I need.

I will know if my computer has a virus or has been hacked

Create a <user> account for internet browsing
Only use the <administrator> account for important things
Don’t let the internet store passwords
Don’t give anyone access to your computer remotely unless you contact them and know who they are.
Get updates from the “official” site
Keep systems current by applying the latest security technology updates and antimalware definitions.
Enable automatic operating system updates, or download operating system updates regularly, to keep them patched against known vulnerabilities.
Configure antimalware software to automatically scan all email and instant-message attachments.
Make sure email programs do not automatically open attachments or automatically render graphics, and turn off preview pane.

Use great caution when opening attachments, especially when those attachments carry the .jar, .pdf, .doc, or .xls extentions.
Never open unsolicited emails or unexpected attachments- even from known people.
