The need for computer security is an old, old story to those who are long time computer users, but it’s a story that needs to be refreshed from time to time to include new information, especially now small and big business is collecting massive amounts of data on consumers, sensitive data has to be locked away as securely as possible, which is why many businesses employ the services of IT managed services, for support and security solutions, plus much more.
On Tuesday evening, October 21, at 7:00 p.m. in the ballroom, the Quail Creek Computer Club is kicking off its fall season with a program on computer security. The speakers will address such issues as:
* How to create strong passwords – and still be able to remember them
* How to download and install trusted antivirus and malware software such as Zonealarm Free Antivirus
* When is it safe to do personal computing on public Wi-Fi networks?
* Is it possible to be absolutely safe online?
* Is one browser any safer than another?
* How to identify internet and email scams
* Is it safe to click on attachments and links in email?
* When—and when not—to use personal information in email or at social networks
* How to know when a website is safe
* Answers to your questions
