Viruses/Malware

"Virus" is the commonplace word for all malicious software programs

for years now; however, a virus is just one type of malicious threat. A

virus is classified as a self-replicating piece of malicious code that

travels by inserting itself into files or programs.

What to do if you're infected: Take steps to avoid infection by

staying protected with internet security software like Norton Security.

If you subscribed to Norton Security and think you may have a virus,

contact Norton's on-call technicians to help eliminate the virus.

Take special precautions when using public Wi-Fi

Public Wi-Fi is available just about everywhere, from the local coffee

shop to the hotels and airports you visit while traveling. While public

Wi-Fi has made our lives a little easier, it also poses security risks to

the personal information available on our laptops and smartphones. A

virtual private network (VPN) gives you online privacy and anonymity

by creating a private network from a public internet connection. VPNs

mask your internet protocol (IP) address so your online actions are

virtually untraceable as well as secure. One of the biggest security

risks on public Wi-Fi are man-in-the-middle attacks (MITM). These

attacks are akin to eavesdropping. Data is sent from point A

(computer) to point B (server/website), and an attacker can get in-

between these transmissions. They then set up tools programmed to

"listen in" on transmissions, intercept data that is specifically targeted

as valuable, and capture the data, such as your login credentials and

passwords.

Use a virtual private network (VPN) to ensure your privacy and

anonymity are protected when you use public Wi-Fi. VPN services

can encrypt all the data that you send and receive while using a public

Wi-Fi hotspot, securing your information from hackers and other users

of the same connection.
