09 Seventh: updates, antivirus and firewall
- Update software and operating systems regularly: each update closes newly discovered security holes — these are the security patches.
- Antivirus: use an original, updated product rather than a cracked one; a cracked scanner may itself carry malware.
- Firewall: keep it enabled so incoming and outgoing traffic is filtered by rule.
- Download applications only from official stores and verify the publisher; do not install unknown browser extensions.
- On public Wi-Fi avoid banking, use HTTPS sites, and turn off auto-connect and file sharing.
- Back up important data on an independent medium so a ransomware attack does not become fatal.
