Are you protected?

Do you use a firewall to safeguard your computer? Is it the one that came with your computer? How high is your security set on your firewall? If you are still using the one that came with your computer it's time to upgrade or at the very least use a free online one.

Other problem that you may have is cookies that install themselves onto your computer and steal or information. They are put onto your computer by the websites you visit, without your permission! Worst of all are viruses they become ingrained in your hard drive never to leave again and continuously cause the same problem. Wondering why you can't open a file anymore or your hard drive starts crashing all the time? It may be a virus!

Are you green? Do you turn your computer off at night? Are you helping or harming the environment? Millions of people leave their computer on and waste massive amounts of energy every night. It's not only computers, but other electronics as well. If everyone just turned off their electronics like they turned off their lights the amount of electricity saved would be enormous. A little effort goes a long way and we should all do our part to help out the environment!
