Windows updates
Check if your Windows operating system has the latest critical security
updates from Microsoft.
Application updates
Check if apps installed on your system are up-to-date. Outdated apps
can be exploited by malicious software, making your PC vulnerable
to outside attacks.
User passwords
Check whether the passwords of the Windows accounts and routers
configured on the system are easy to guess or not. Setting passwords
that are hard to guess (strong passwords) makes it very difficult for
hackers to break into your system. A strong password includes
uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters
(such as #, $ or @).
Autoplay
Check the status of the Windows Autorun feature. This feature enables
apps to be automatically started from CDs, DVDs, USB drives or other
external devices.
Some types of threats use Autorun to spread automatically from
removable media to the PC. This is why it is recommended to disable
this Windows feature.
