Security and Privacy Guide

Contents
Step 8: Data
- Secure Your Private Data

Step 9 - Threats, Practices and Habits

Knowledge is power, especially where security and privacy are concerned. If you want to keep yourself, your computer and your money safe and your sensitive data and identity safe and private, I strongly urge you to learn about the threats to your computer and your privacy and to develop safe computing practices and habits.

WARNING: If you choose not to use one of the following solutions, your computer, money and sensitive data will be vulnerable to zero-day / zero-hour attacks, the one threat from which antivirus and antispyware software doesn't protect them. skip

If you use Windows and you're not computer savvy or only need basic security, I strongly recommend that you drop your applications' rights or sandbox your applications to disarm most Net threats.
Better yet, there's little need to worry about the antimalware software some of the following articles recommend using if you use a virtual operating system in your current operating system when online.
If you're lazy or don't want or have time to deal with it, keep your computer[, money and data] safe with less hassle by using managed security.
If you're computer savvy and need sufficient security to disarm virtually all malware threats, I strongly recommend following my step-by-step security and privacy guides and installing a Host Intrusion Detection and Prevention System.

Today's Threats:

Zero-Day Attacks, Phishing, Pharming, Warjacking, Bluejacking (also called Bluespamming), Bluebugging, Bluesniping and Bluesnarfing, WiPhishing, Evil Twin, Peeping Tom Worms and Trojans, SPIT (spam over Internet telephony or VoIP), SPIM(Spam over Instant Messaging), Spam, Cookies, PIE (Persistent Identification Element), Browser Hijackers, Tab Hijackers, Clipboard Hijackers, Web Bugs (also called Tracking Bugs, Web Beacons, Pixel Tags, or Clear GIFs), Adware, Slurpware, Malware (Viruses, Trojan Horses or Trojans, Worms, Rootkits, Spyware and Keystroke Loggers or Keyloggers)...

...and vulnerabilities created by Cell Phones, PDAs, Bluetooth and Bluechatting, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), Wireless Keyboards, Instant Messengers, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) software, Blogs, Profiles, Personal Sites, Social Networking Sites, etc.
