The internet is a dangerous place if you don’t know who and what to look for. It is easy for hackers to hack into peoples computers and even their phones, but there are certain ways to tell if your computer is safe. There are obvious things such as realizing that a file is missing or that your computer is running slower than normal. Some less noticeable things that could happen are pop up ads or viruses in your computer. People go on many different websites, and it can be hard to tell which ad has a virus in it or not. One of the major things that is seen when talking about viruses and malware is a system shutdown. This means there is a virus or a hacker in your computer and it is not safe. Even when a virus is in your computer it can be hard to tell if your computer is safe or not. To protect yourself and your computer from harmful viruses you can download programs and software’s such as Norton. Norton is an anti-malware and antivirus software that works to identify viruses in your computer in real time. There are other software’s as well that do the same thing. It protects you from clicking on websites that could have viruses as well as spam emails that could have viruses as well. Many computers today have built in software’s that should better protect you from getting any type of malware. I think these are the most easy, reliable, and convenient ways to make sure your computer is safe, but I think that people should take more precautions about their security. They should do things such as changing passwords for every website as well as making sure that their password is not something personal that anyone could guess. These are ways to tell if your computer is completely safe. The best bet is to download software’s like Norton and your computer has a greater chance of not being attacked.
