Protection against Malware

• Keep security software current: Having the latest security software, web browser and operating system is the best defense against viruses, malware and other online threats.
• When in doubt, throw it out: Links in e-mail, tweets, posts and online advertising are often how cybercriminals try to steal your personal information. Even if you know the source, if something looks suspicious, delete it.
• Protect all devices that connect to the Internet: Along with computers, smartphones, gaming systems and other web-enabled devices also need protection from viruses and malware.
• Plug & scan:USBs and other external devices can be infected by viruses and malware. Use your security software to scan them.
