I bought a new computer and im afraid of the security of it, please help.
How can i be sure my computer is really safe? any 100% working ways?ducati
Well first of all download the latest free and easy to use firewall , called zone alarm from http://www.zonelabs.com then use http://toolbar.yahoo.com yahoo toolbar with anti-spyware , scan your pc every night with those and no problem will ever happen, go sleep without worries!

The only 100% secure computer is a switched off OpenBSD box with no disk drives or network connections in a basement where the light's gone, and so have the stairs, in a locked cupboard behind a door with the sign ''Beware of the Leopard'' on it. And maybe not even then.
There is no way to be 100% safe, but 99% is possible, you must be informed, WELL informed. Knowledge is power, learn about security threats and develop good surfing habits.
DO NOT open attachments, unless you already know that they are coming, and you already know whats in them.
DO NOT install activex controls, unless you know who they are from, and if you can really trust them.
DO have a good antivirus istalled. I reccomend Nod32, from www.eset.com It is very small, and is updated with the latest virus definitions several times a day.
