Internet security for home users.
Passwords
One password for computer login
One password for mail servers
One password for trusted sites
One password for untrusted sites
obviously use the strongest and most memorable passwords possible
Virus scanning
Have a virus scanner to scan all incoming files
Surfing
Be careful what sites you go to
Updates
The best form of defence is an up to date computer, Keep your software and your operating system up to date.
Firewall
Only use if you are running services. Hiding behind a NAT router shouldÂsuffice.
