Firewall:
If you use DSL or cable then a firewall is a must. DSL and cable, internet access and all the time. Programs hackers search for vulnerable computers connected to the Internet via its IP address. Once you find the evil hackers are trying to find a way to break into yourSystem. One of the things that the firewall is doing, is to you that masks the computer so that the probe of hackers is negative. When you activate Windows XP, then you should include the firewall program already. If you do not have Windows XP, you can use a program to use as ZoneAlarm.
Anti Virus Software:
Regular Anti-Virus --
Make sure that you do for a good cause common anti-virus software and set to run automatically every week. Keeping virusDefinitions up to date, you can always get the latest viruses.

A Trojan is a program that lets you install other software on your system. They can also give the attacker any other means, not only to your system and everything. Its general-purpose anti-virus software, some of them and some of them are specialized anti-Trojan will need to get rid of them.
Spyware:
These guys are really not very common and easy to get infected.Spyware is software that is installed on your computer without your permission. Some are used for monitoring, and some are used to influence the search results or to perform any type of pop-ups. If you have a lot of spyware on your system, you start to slow down. The thing about spyware is that your anti-virus software regularly receives. I use four different spyware programs to get rid of all. It seems that none of the spyware removal software that can achieve all.
All passwords that you need to use your system to protect passwords. Should at least eight to ten characters with a combination of letters and numbers with at least one special character. Do not use your name, God, names of children or the name of pet. Beware of e-mail:
Many hackers send viruses and spyware in email attachments. Never open an email attachment from a stranger. Never open an email attachment, itan executable program, if you really trust the source. Sometimes the hacker sends a virus through an infected computer, so you feel safe opening the attachment. Make sure your anti-virus software also scans incoming e-mail.

Hackers are always looking for ways to use in order to integrate the operating system software. Once you learn the manufacturer, which give a correction orPatch. When you upgrade your system with these updates, you may be vulnerable to hacker attacks.
Keep away from Cracked Software:You should stay away from cracked software for more than criminal or moral grounds. Cracker you can not trust criminals or hackers apparently. They are known for putting trojans and other malicious software cracking. They believe that the software for free, if you let a hacker in the system may be too much. Be smart and payall software.
Test Security:I have a website that will test your FREE security. It's called Shields Up. It will test your Internet connection, probe the doors and write a report. Will give you an idea of how secure your connection.
Backup sensitive materials: Regular backups of important or sensitive material should be part of your daily life. If you have files, documents or photos on your system that you can not lose, then againli. Save a copy on another computer, or better yet, a CD / DVD.
