HOW TO PREVENT HACKERS

JUST FOLLOW THESE STEPS TO STOP HACKERS.
# Different password

Each account must have a different password. It's never the same password on unsafe sites like Facebook and something important, such as online banking.

# Passwords

If your password is less than ten characters, a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, then it is not strong enough. It should never be a name, a birthday or any information about anyone or anything around you. An example of a strong password is something like "C + M # T_on

# Usernames complex

Most of people  have e-mail address or name as your username? Rookie Move evil. You should make a user name as a password so complex. Many WordPress blogs are created by the username "admin" as hackers are already 50% of the road. Change username and not something complicated.

# Updated anti-virus software

You need an updated version (or two) of recent anti-virus and anti-spyware. Some are free like AVAST or KESPERSKY as paid. And an update automatically.

# End Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, versions of Safari

Do not just ignore that update requests from the browser, do it now. Some of these updates are in the safety of their products. In fact, up to date on what is the more secure browser and use only. Hello Chrome?

# Use Facebook and e-mail safely the correct URL

Will connect to Facebook. Come on, do it. Now see that the URL "http://" or "https"? If the former, then you are not in a secure session. Go into your settings and make sure to always use https, and when you log on any site be sure to write "s" if you are logged in.

# Do not use public Wi-Fi

You know when you go to a cafe and connect to the network free? Well, take a look at how easy it is for people to steal your passwords, email and Facebook with a simple plugin for Firefox. It's really sad that this exists. I can not use Wi-Fi.

# Do not send passwords or store important information online or offline

Do not send in online security to all. Especially through chat or e-mail. If someone has been noticed in your account can see what you're doing. If you want to send passwords for employees, family members, etc. Then call them on the phone. Avoid storing passwords on your hard drive as it is also very easy to use.

# Make your security questions difficult

You know, these security issues as "what is the maiden name of your mother?" So, make the complex answers. For example, in one of mine, I choose the pet name first and then respond to a complex password. If you ever hacked, you need this information to regain access to the account. You do not want a hacker to change that.

All Backup #

You must be ongoing to save the contents of your hard drive, email and blog to an external hard drive. If the worst happens and someone deletes the content of the blog you can return without too much trouble. Imagine if you were based on a web site for entry and all that was removed?

# Do not use your computer administrator account

Most people use the administrator account, it gives you the freedom to add programs, etc, but did you know that using a non-administrator account can slow the spread of a virus?

# Monitor your sites connected

If you go to the bottom of your Gmail account, you will see a small line of text that says "Last account activity". This shows you your account has been accessed from, so if you suspect that something is wrong, you should watch and record the IP of the unknown.

# Use phishing filter

This can help you identify if someone is running a phishing scam in which to show what is safe.

 Do not click links in emails

In general, most banks and financial institutions will send you emails with links. Never click on any email you receive. If you really believe it is call your bank instead.
