  2. Good website protection extensions
  3. Good software updating software
  4. Awareness of how to spot phishing e-mails

1. Anti-malware protection software:

Irecommend Emsisoft Anti-malware as the security protection product that I sell and install to protect my clients’ computers. It is an effective vaccination against malicious software (malware).

2. Website Protection

I recommend two products to stop malware, malvertisements, redirections and scams from invading your computer from the websites you visit:

This low-cost protection becomes an extension to your Chrome, Edge or Firefox browsers, and has reduced the incidence of those scary tech support pop-up scams by over 90%.
