[QUOTE="net1, post: 20903"] They are well known pieces of security advice - but we will bring them to you anyway. Cause you can't be reminded too often how to guard your computer against online attacks. The following five tips every consumer should know: 1. Install and use a firewall. 2. Use anti-virus software and update virus definitions regularly. 3. Create secure, original passwords. 4. Update your computer(s) with the latest vendor security patches. 5. Practice basic e-mail and downloading "street smarts." The last piece of advice especially points to being careful about which e-mail attachments to open. For an example, it is generally a bad idea to open attachments that contain the ".vbs" file extension. [/QUOTE]
