Stages to secure your pc--- 11 of them are discussed here
1 Choose a working framework in view of itssecurityand helplessness (Linuxhas no known dynamic infections in the wild, OpenBSD is centered around security). See whether it utilizes constrained client accounts, document authorizations and is routinely refreshed. Ensure you refresh your working framework with security updates and refresh your other programming as well.
2 Choose a web program in light of its security and vulnerabilities in light of the fact that most malware will come through by means of your web program. Incapacitate contents as well (NoScript, Privoxy and Proxomitron can do this). Take a gander at what autonomous PC security examiners, (for example, US-CERT) and wafers (like H@ckers) say.
3 When setting up, utilize strongpasswords in your
client account,router account and so on. H@ckers may utilize word reference assaults and savage power assaults.
4 Whendownloading software(including antivirus programming), get it from a put stock in source (softpedia, download, snapfiles, tucows, fileplanet, betanews, sourceforge) or your storehouse in the event that you are utilizing Linux.
5 Install great antivirus programming (especially in the event that you utilize P2P). Antivirus programming is intended to manage present day malware including infections, trojans, keyloggers, rootkits, and worms. See whether your antivirus offers constant filtering, on-get to or on-request. Likewise see whether it is heuristic. Avast and AVG are sans great versions. Pick one, download and introduce it and output frequently. Stay up with the latest by refreshing consistently.
6 Download and introduce programming to manage spyware, for example, Spybot Search and Destroy, HijackThis or Ad-mindful and check frequently. I can't express this enough – you have to run a decent hostile to spyware and against malware program like Spybot on the off chance that you look through the web by any stretch of the imagination. Numerous sites out thereexploit weaknessesand openings in the security of Microsoft Explorer and will put noxious code on your PC without you thinking about it until its past the point of no return!
7 Download and introduce a firewall. Either ZoneAlarm or Comodo Firewall (Kerio, WinRoute or Linux accompanies iptables). In the event that you utilize a switch, this gives an additional layer ofsecurityby going about as an equipment firewall.
8 Close all ports. H@ckers utilize port checking (Ubuntu Linux has all ports shut as a matter of course).
9 Perform Penetration Testing. Begin with ping, at that point run a basic nmap scan.Backtrack Linuxwill likewise be helpful.
10 Consider running interruption discovery programming (HIDS, for example, ossec, tripwire or rkhunter.
11 Don't neglect to think as far as physical security (if there should arise an occurrence of burglary/unapproved get to), like setting a BIOS watchword and avoiding access to your machine or its removable gadgets (USB, CD drive and so on.). Try not to utilize an outer hard drive or USB gadget for vital information, these speak to another vulnerability, as they are less demanding to take/lose.
