Keeping Data Safe when surfing

Use common sense
Delete attachment dubious-particularly when he was sent from unknown sources. For example, do not download animation that arouse from the site that seems very unprofessional. And do not click on links in messages that seem strange or unusual, although he was sent by 'friends'.
Method commonly used by the attacker is disguised as friends and send messages with infected files with malware to other users.
Smart when you download

Internet Security Threat Report shows that the number of daily web-based attacks in 2010 reached 93 percent higher than in 2009. This confirms the importance of avoid downloading files that could not be sure you are safe, including freeware, screensavers, games and other executable program - any files with extension *. exe or *. com as 'coolgame.exe'.
If you need to download from the Internet, be sure to scan each program before running it. Save all downloads into one folder, then run a virus / malware on anything in that folder before using it.


Be careful with email attachments and links 

April 2011 MessageLabs Intelligence Report indicates that 1 in 168 emails contained malware. Inspect all incoming email attachments to malware, although employees recognize and trust the sender.
Attackers today are increasingly being implemented method is directed where they are researching the victim is important in every company and use social engineering based attacks that have been adapted to gain access into the victim's network. Malicious code can then be entered into the system with the present as if the source is known.
Also, make sure the software does not automatically download attachments. Please refer to the preferences menu option or security programs belong to your email for further instructions.
Use a reliable security solution 

Current security solutions - whether present as software or through centralized services - can do more than just preventing the virus. They scan the file on a regular basis to determine changes that are not prevalent on the size of the file, a program that fits the software's database of malware, suspicious email attachments, and other warning signs. This is an important step that can be done by small businesses to keep the computer clean of malware.
Keep up to date 

A security solution is only as good as how often it is updated. Viruses, worms, Trojan horses and other new malware are born every day, and their variations can be missed by software that is not updated.
A good solution is to do this directly, but if you want to reduce the load completely, you could also use a centralized service, which will automatically update in a transparent manner through an Internet connection to help keep the system's employees remain up to date and consistent with the policy companies, both when they are in office or in the field.
Make sure you educate employees on these points and implement policies that ensure that your company follow the guidelines above.
Perhaps it takes an investment of time and money in the beginning, but preventive measures will save more time and money in the future. Do not let your company face the risk of becoming victims of malware attacks.
