The Best Antivirus Protection

  To protect against targeted ransomware attacks, and Jet Infosystems experts recommend the following actions: Make a data backup that can be used to recover files in the event of an attack. Use a security solution with behaviour-based detection technology. It detects Trojans of any type by analyzing their actions in the attacked system. This makes it possible to detect even previously unknown malware. Check out the site of No More Ransom, an international initiative designed to help victims of targeted attacks recover files without having to pay a ransom. If your data has been encrypted, recommends using the No Ransom service, which presents tools developed by the company to help victims of ransomware. Conduct an audit of the installed software: not only on workstations but also on all network nodes and servers. Update software in time. Conduct a comprehensive network security assessment (audit, penetration testing, GAP analysis) to detect and close any loopholes that could be exp...

To protect yourself from unpleasant situations, you must observe the utmost care and safety rules on the Internet. Remember: you cannot be confident in a person you do not know personally, so distrust in absentia to any new acquaintance is a completely justified measure. Do not provide any personal information about yourself, especially about accounts, contacts and personal data. The less an attacker knows about you, the less he can do. Do not accept any files from unverified people, much less install them. For the sent "funny chip" or "toy" may turn out to be a Trojan or a virus that will cause a lot of trouble.  Internet Behavior Do not take all the words of Internet interlocutors at face value. Messages like “urgently put money into my account, then I'll return it” or “call me on such and such a number” in 100% of cases will turn out to be a divorce. Also, do not follow the links, even if it is supposedly a page with someone's photos. At best, advertising...

To protect your child from the negative influence of the Internet and possible threats posed by the worldwide network, experts recommend following these rules: First of all, you should set a certain time for a teenager to spend on the Internet; If he is passionate about any game or site, then you need to study it yourself to have an idea of ​​the safety of this content or game; The teenager needs to be explained why it is impossible to believe everything that is written on the Internet. For example, why not trust the reports of winning large sums of money, etc.; It is necessary to clearly indicate to the child which sites he can visit, and which are strictly forbidden to use; If a teenager is registered in any social networks, then it is better to register with them and parents, too, to track the interests of the teenager and his actions. However, this must be done unobtrusively and carefully so as not to injure the child and not lose his trust; Children should be taught how to use the...

          The problem of preserving personal data on the Internet has become especially acute after an increase in cases of fraud, cyber harassment and intimidation of users. Having received personal information about a victim, an attacker can easily ruin her life or even undermine her material well-being. Therefore, it is extremely important to keep your personal data secret, hiding under numerous nicknames, numbers and neutral accounts to avoid trouble. However, due to the desire of many users to use social networks and dating sites, it is not possible to hide all information about yourself. How else to register on Odnoklassniki, if you do not indicate the name, surname and educational institutions? How to make an acquaintance with a girl/guy on the site without publishing a photo and ways of communication? No way.        Unfortunately, we have to admit that the use of social networks like "classmates" and "VKontakte" is unsafe - preci...

E-mail is one of the most popular ways of spreading malware on the Internet today. A regular email message is just text, it can't be dangerous on its own. However, you can attach a file called an attachment file or attachment file to your message, which may well be malware or a virus-infected file. Malicious programs are, in one way or another, executable files (stand-alone or command (scripts)) that are triggered when executed on a given computer. You can formulate the following tactics in the fight against them: - First, prevent malicious programs from getting on your computer; - secondly, if they have already come to you, in no case launch them for execution; - thirdly, if they do start, take measures so that, if possible, they do not cause damage. If you receive a message with a virus, it means that you have already unwittingly taken the first preliminary step on the way to infecting your computer, since the dangerous file has been saved on your hard disk.

The most densely populated place for viruses on the Internet, according to anti-virus specialists, is the so-called Usenet network, which includes a variety of news (teleconferencing) groups. In other words, the news is a very unreliable source in terms of receiving files and should be treated with more than caution. Try to use news for its intended purpose: to support discussions, exchange opinions, information, but not as a source of free software. The form of interaction in the news is still the same exchange of mail messages, so when working with news, use the same guidelines as to when working with e-mail. Another nuisance when working with news (and other similar services) may be the publicity of your email address, which can later be used for spam mailing or mailing messages with viruses. When you post a message to the newsgroup, it always contains your return address. This is potentially dangerous because there are special programs that can automatically scan such ads, fetching...

This is their main advantage, but also their main source of danger. If 99% of Android users have nothing to worry about, sometimes something goes wrong. So here's how to detect it. No operating system is completely virus-proof, as long as we are told otherwise. But that doesn't mean they aren't sure. The majority of malware and viruses take advantage of vulnerabilities in older versions of the system or older smartphones or catch us by surprise to obtain the necessary permissions. Even Apple devices are not spared. A few years ago, when the manufacturer's market share did not exceed 20% of the global smartphone fleet, no cyber-criminal bothered to develop viruses for these devices. But the situation has changed, and Apple devices are no longer immune. With around 80% market share of smartphones sold worldwide, Android is clearly...

What is the safest method of payment? What is the main danger of e-banking? Ivan Bütler, the cybersecurity expert and professor at the Rapperswil Technical University (HSR), provides answers to these questions.
