PC Security
- Control physical access to your PC and environment to prevent unauthorized persons from using your PC.
- Use screen savers and 'lock' your PC whenever you leave it unattended.
- Use strong passwords that are difficult to guess and change them frequently. Do not disclose them or write them down where others may find them.
- Be sure to use up-to-date virus protection software on your PC.
- Be cautious when downloading programs or opening e-mail attachments from unknown sources.
- Ensure your browser uses at least 128-bit encryption.
