Malware is a form of malicious software specifically designed to damage or disable computers, networks, and other electronic devices. To prevent your device from being infected by malware, we suggest taking the following steps:

1. Keep your operating system, applications, and anti-virus software up-to-date. Manufactures are constantly issuing updates that fix known bugs and vulnerabilities, so make updates a priority.
2. Be cautious about emails. Don’t click on links or download attachments from people you don’t know or trust.
3. Utilize firewalls and security settings. Firewalls can help prevent malicious software and hackers from accessing your device.
4. Beware of Wi-Fi networks. Use caution when connecting to unsecured public Wi-Fi networks. Use a reliable virtual private network (VPN) to connect to the internet to protect your data and personal information.
5. Be mindful of your downloads.Only download software from reliable and legitimate sources such as official app stores or trusted websites.
