Here is an important checklist to make your home computer safe.

Do use a currently supported Windows NT10 or greater operating system. Windows 7 is extremely vulnerable when connected to the internet. Windows 8 is headed in that direction. They are not supported. That means that security updates are not available because there are no teams studying the exploits and writing new code that blocks the latest attacks. Attackers do not want people's computers, they want to own the owner's life---everything.

Do use your Windows Defender and or favourite virus scanner and Windows firewall and make certain your updates are complete and the settings make sense. (Go to: Settings|Update & Security)

Do install this software, MyComputerCop.com, using an administrative login.

Do check for the latest version of your browser and e-mail client.

Do check if your internet service provider is throttling your connection and take a look at what your browser is telling the world. Visit: ThisIP.ca.

Do use a virtual private network system (VPN) if you can. They are overly expensive.

Do look at the signature you are sending across the internet. Visit: ThisIP.ca

Don't leave your computer unattended without logging off first.

Do use a good, safe browser like Brave.com or Firefox.com and use the duckduckgo.com search engine. (Important.)
