- Use reliable web browsers – e.g. Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or even a mobile browser like FireFox Focus. They are designed to protect you from potential threats to your system.
- Install anti-virus software – This helps protect you from known viruses or malware, and run regular scans to detect any malware hidden on your computer.
- Watch out for Spam emails – Never open any emails from unknown sources, and avoid clicking on links from unsolicited emails even if they look legitimate.
- Be cautious about downloads – Only download files from trusted sources such as official websites. Even then, be sure to scan files with an anti-virus scanner before executing the file.
- Be mindful of online ads – Unscrupulous online advertisers can use malicious code to inject malware onto your system. Treat all online ads with caution and use a reliable ad-blocker to stay safe.
