Storing important information on a computer requires the user to take certain actions to protect it. If you do not pay special attention to this, third parties can take possession of confidential information.
Instructions
Step 1
If you have confidential information stored on your computer, there is always a chance that another person might get hold of it. This is done in many ways: from a banal Trojan horse to a full-scale attack on your computer. To keep your data safe, you need to be extremely careful.
Step 2
Antivirus software. Set in the antivirus settings a daily full scan of your computer for the presence of antiviruses. You should also install a daily anti-virus database update.
Step 3
Scrambler. If your PC stores financial information, access data to financial sites and other important materials, it is better to encrypt them in advance. We add that decryption of information will be possible only by the program that was used to encrypt the data.
Step 4
Flash card. It is better to store especially important information on a separate medium. This media should not be used on other PCs. If it becomes necessary to use a flash drive on a third-party computer, you must be sure that it is not infected.
Step 5
The most effective measure to keep your data safe is to store it on a separate computer. The separate computer does not need to be connected to the internet. In this case, you can be one hundred percent sure that no one, except you, will take possession of confidential information.
