Security Tips

The following security tips can help protect your personal information to keep your devices, software and
hardware secure.

Be cautious when opening email attachments with endings such as "vbs", ".exe", ".bat", or ".scr." Don't open an email if you don't know the sender.
Use memory sticks/thumb drives, CDs and floppy disks with caution; devices used on multiple computers can be a virus risk.
Subscribe to a virus alert email newsletter or read computer news sites regularly. These resources will tell you how to identify a virus, how to avoid it, and what can be done if it has infected your computer.
Back up data regularly by saving it to disks or CDs. In the event that a virus does infect your computer, this will help minimize the loss of important information.
Install the latest version of hardware updates from your computer and software manufacturers.
