How To Protect Yourself and Your Computer OnlineCharles Anderson
This document provides basic steps to protect yourself and your computer online from malware and fraud. It recommends keeping your operating system and software updated, using antivirus and firewall protection, and being wary of suspicious emails requesting personal information. Phishing scams try to steal information like bank accounts through fraudulent emails or websites, so the document advises to never enter details from an email link and to be suspicious of messages promising things that sound too good to be true. Taking precautions like keeping software updated and avoiding providing information from untrusted sources can help safeguard against online risks.
