There are many ways that one can be unsafe on the internet without knowing. One of these ways could be through downloading files on the internet without a proper anti-virus protection system to scan possible threats that may be inside of the files. This is not the only task an anti-virus protection system can perform, however. They can remove malicious code, remove spyware, and certain anti-virus software’s can inform you if the website you are on is legitimate. Another way to make sure your computer has great security levels is to install a VPN (virtual private network) A VPN does many tasks to help keep you safe. Its biggest job is to make sure that your I.P (internet protocol) Address is hidden ensuring security on many things like your location. To sum it up a VPN keeps you invisible while on the internet but does not protect you from downloading malware or viruses. To ensure maximum online safety it is recommended to combine a VPN with a anti-virus software. Along with this make sure that you are using complex passwords that only you would know and store them someplace very safe. Make sure to update all software including VPN and Anti-virus software for the most secure and up-to-date protection available. Finally, make sure that you browse the website safely by not clicking on suspicious links and stay away from pirated material as that may contain malicious malware. With all of these steps being followed your computer will stay safe and virus free on the internet.
