1. Disable Sharing: Disable sharing options, such as file and printer sharing, which can expose data to third parties.


2. Secure Network Connections: Use a secure virtual private network (VPN) to access the Web and protect sensitive data when connected to public networks.


3. Install the Latest Updates: Regularly install the latest security updates and OS upgrades to reduce the risk of malware.


4. Use Strong Passwords: Create and use strong passwords to protect data and accounts, and do not store them on the computer.
