Wireless Connections Security
It is very important to be secure when using a wireless connection for your computer.
Step 1:
Make sure have up-to-date versions of the following software:
- a two-way firewall
- antispyware tool
- antivirus program
Many solutions combine these into a full Internet security suite." Check the security software reviews for tips on which programs perform the best.
Step 2:
Keep software up to date. Install the latest Microsoft Windows updates. Microsoft displays a in the right side bottom if you have updates waiting to be installed.
Step 3:
Turn off Windows XP file and print sharing. This means that you have closed down access to your hard drive from other PCs.
- Go to the Control Panel's Security Center applet, then select Windows Firewall.
- Go to the Exceptions tab and uncheck File and Print Sharing. Also, be sure to disable ad hoc connections (found under Advanced Settings) in the Windows Wireless Connection panel (or whichever Wi-Fi utility you use).
Step 4: Eyeball Sites
Before entering any personal info on a site, check to be sure it's secure. Look for https:// in the address bar, along with an icon indicating that VeriSign or another independent party has certified the site as secure. We don't recommend online purchases or doing banking from non-secure sites anyway, but it's doubly important to be secure when you're out in public.
