What is basic click security?
It may not be a term that you have heard before, but the premise is simple. The meaning is to think before you click OK on the next pop-up or before you download the next piece of "Free Software."
Why you may ask?
Well, let me explain... Harmful programmers on the internet are relying on the "Wow" factor and luire you in to download their piece of harmful software. They package it up to look like something useful and in most cases a functioning piece of software. What you don't see is what is happening in the background. After you have downloaded and start using your new, free software the damage begins. Depending on the intent of the hacker they maybe gathering information that you are entering into websites or they maybe digging through your personal files on your computer. Nonetheless they have moved in and don't plan on moving out anytime soon.
Most of these types of viruses are getting harder and harder to remove. There are many antivirus software companies out there that help in different ways. My recommendation is to get one and make sure to stay up to date with it. We can dive into specific recommendations in a different article but the main purpose of the topic today is to bring awareness to how your actions online can compromise your computers safety. The only 100% secured computer today is the one that is turned off. Feel free to email me for recommendations for your security needs compxbertz @ gmail .com .
So in conclusion the next time you find a deal that seems to good to be true, it just might be. Remember the principal behind Basic Click Security. Happy broswing.
This is another Computer Xbertz recommendation.
