Installing a firewall
A firewall protects your computer by blocking or allowing traffic between your
computer and the Internet. Windows has a built-in firewall that helps to protect
your computer. For better security, purchase a router that has a built-in firewall.
You can also download free firewall software on the Internet.
Installing spyware blocker
Spyware typically retrieves information about your Web-surfing habits. It can be
secretly installed on your computer with a free download and can even be
installed just by visiting a Web site. Spyware can cause your Web searches to
be redirected and pop up annoying adds. Once your computer is infected with
spyware, it can be very difficult to remove. The key is to prevent infection in the
first place by installing spyware blocker software. Spyware blocking software
can be purchased online; and you can even download free spyware blocking
programs.
