Antivirus Tip: Keep a ready list of easy ‘how to’ instructions for guests to make it easier to navigate the security you have set up on your PC and network.

Antivirus Tip: Where possible, install a device finder app. This can be especially useful if you lose your device or it is stolen.

Antivirus Tip: Share knowledge with those who use your devices, so they are aware of what to avoid and limit their usage to prevent any accidental infections.

Antivirus Tip: Unless you requested it, NEVER install any unprompted apps or software. Save your device from being hacked.

Antivirus Tip: Set up a software/ hardware firewall to protect the network against threats, such as an internet firewall and a physical barrier to the server.

Antivirus Tip: Be careful of how often you hand out your device’s e-mail address or try breaking it into 3 parts: ‘name at address’.

Antivirus Tip: Keep track of all the devices connected to your network like printers, computers, etc. This makes spotting unauthorised devices easier.

Antivirus Tip: Clean out your devices every six months. This includes not just unused apps but contacts, and other information you might not use.

Antivirus Tip: Only share your devices and passwords with those you trust completely, or change your password after sharing it for a once-off task.

Antivirus Tip: Keep track of how your device operates – anything out of the ordinary can be an indication of an infection such as a dramatic slow down.
