I3 Tips:Learn About Spyware Risks

Spyware creates risks that many computer users are not aware of. If you are only protecting against viruses, you could be leaving your computer open to damage. Most people are familiar with spyware that initiates and attracts annoying ad programs. Spyware, however, can be much more malicious as well. Your shopping habits can be tracked by spyware. While not exactly harmful, some people consider this a breach of privacy. The worst spyware programs interfere with normal operations and can even track what you type, sending personal information to people who want to steal your identity. Some spyware redirects your browser to different web addresses, increasing your risks of virus infection and fraud.

I3 Tip: Backup your work!! Files can be lost from your computer in any number of ways—you might accidentally delete a file, or a virus might wipe one out. You can also have a complete hard drive failure. When a hard drive dies an untimely death, it's kind of like having your house burn down. Important personal items are usually gone forever—family photos, significant documents, downloaded music, and more.
Thankfully it's a really simple process these days to back up your content to a second, separate location. By doing so, your files can be protected against viruses or complete computer failure. This makes it easy to retrieve and place them on a new hard drive and get going again.

I3 Tip: Don’t be a victim of identity theft!! Use strong passwords!! Use BOTH upper- and lower-case letters. Place numbers and punctuation marks randomly in your password. Make your password long and complex, so it is hard to crack. Between 8 to 20 characters long is recommended. Use one or more of these special characters: ! @ # $ % * ( ) - + = , < > : : “ ‘ To help you easily remember your password, consider using a phrase or a song title as a password. For example, “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” becomes “Sw0tR8nBO” or “Smells Like Teen Spirit” becomes “sMll10nspT.”

I3 Tip:If you use your laptop computer for long periods at a time, especially with it sitting on the couch, bed or your lap, its base can get very hot. Although most laptops have a built-in fan, it may not be enough to keep your computer and sensitive components cool. You may need to find ways to keep your laptop cool to prevent the development of heat-related problems, such as unexpected shutdowns.

I3 Tip: Do not open any files attached to an e-mail unless you know what it is even if it appears to come from a friend or someone you know. Some viruses replicate themselves and spread through e-mail without the sender being aware that he/she is spreading a virus. Better be safe than sorry and confirm with the sender that he/she intentioned to send you an attachment.
