Protect Your Gadgets and Get a Chance to Win $400 Amazon gift card

 

These days there is always some type of malware, virus or hacker out there trying to get into all of your gadgets and electronics. Mac, PC, smartphone or other; it doesn’t matter. The threat is out there.
In the past, we’ve covered a few ways to secure your online life, find free antivirus programs, create strong passwords and many other ways to secure various devices around your home and work.
It’s important to know about all the smaller ways to protect yourself, but lets discuss a few of the most important tips.

The Basic Rule

The most basic thing you can do to protect yourself and your devices is to just be cautious and careful. If it’s too good to be true, it probably is. If your mom is updating about (insert movie star) doing (insert craziest thing imaginable) and she never posts about movie stars, you can probably guess it’s not a real link.
Keeping away from things like this will protect you from most of the bad stuff out there, but just being smart isn’t enough. Let’s dig a little deeper at how we can protect our devices even better.

How should I protect myself?

As mentioned in the intro above, there are tons of programs that help protect you across all your devices.

Smartphones and Tablets

The biggest tip here is to make sure you have a passcode in place and to only have a limited amount of personal information on it.
The other tip is to just use the mainstream app stores. However, if you do want to jailbreak or use other stores, make sure to Google around before you just download anything.

Desktops and Laptops

The most basic thing you need is a solid antivirus. This is super important in just getting started. There are lots of other things you can add, but I want to hear about your favorites in the comments.
