23. Summary
• No perfect security
• Be always cautious

24. • Anti-virus software detects malware and can destroy it
before any damage is done
• Install and maintain anti-virus and anti-spyware
software
• Be sure to keep anti-virus software updated
• Many free and pay options exist

25. • A firewall acts as a wall between your computer/private network and the
internet. Hackers may use the internet to find, use, and install applications
on your computer. A firewall prevents hacker connections from entering
your computer.
• Filters packets that enter or leave your computer

26.  Microsoft regularly issues patches or updates to solve security problems in
their software. If these are not applied, it leaves your computer vulnerable
to hackers.
 The Windows Update feature built into Windows can be set up to
automatically download and install updates.
