Strengthening the awareness of self-defense is the first step for us to defend against cyber threats. In this article, we will introduce 11 aspects that need to be strengthened in the process of using the network.
1. Prevention 1. Keep the information available. Do you know that viruses and security warnings appear almost every day? Add our security and repair home pages to favorites to get the latest outbreak of viruses.
2. Get protection. If no virus protection software is installed on your machine, you 'd better install one. If you are a home or individual user, it is quite easy to download any program with the best ranking, and you can follow the installation wizard. If you are in a network, first consult your network administrator.
3. scan your system regularly. If it is the first time you have started anti-virus software, you 'd better ask it to scan your entire system. It is good to start your computer clean and virus-free. Generally, the anti-virus program can be set to run on the basis of scanning the system every time the computer starts or scheduled. Some programs can also scan the system in the background when you connect to the Internet. It is best to regularly scan the system for viruses.
4. Update your anti-virus software. Since you have installed the virus protection software, make sure it is up to date. Some anti-virus programs are automatically connected to the Internet, and new virus detection code is added as long as the software vendor discovers a new threat. You can also scan the system to find the latest security update files.
5. Do not easily execute executable programs such as EXE and COM in the attachment. These attachments are very likely to carry computer viruses or hacker programs and run easily, which may bring unpredictable results. Execute Program attachments in e-mails sent from friends and strangers must be checked and confirmed to be usable.
6. Do not open the electronic mails sent by the recipient and the documents of the relevant attachments. First, use "Save ..." Command ("Save ...") Save it to the local hard disk. It can only be turned on and used after the computer virus detection and removal software is used to check for no toxicity. If you click "DOC", "XLS", and other attachment documents with the mouse, "Word" or "Excel" is automatically enabled. If any attachment contains computer viruses, the file will be immediately infected; do not enable macros easily if you are prompted. Otherwise, it is very likely to be infected with the computer virus of email.
7. Do not directly run attachments that are strange to the file extension, or contain script files, such *. VBS ,*. do not directly open attachments, such as self-production. Generally, you can delete emails containing these attachments to prevent computer systems from being attacked by computer viruses.
8. Make necessary settings if Outlook is used as the email sending and receiving software. Select the "options" command in the "Tools" menu, set "attachment Security" to "high" in "security", and click "advanced options" in "others, press the "add-on Manager" button and do not select "server script run ". Click OK to save the settings.
9. Use the preview function with caution. If Outlook Express is used as the email sending and receiving software, necessary settings should also be made. Select the "options" command in the "Tools" menu, and do not select "automatically display news mails" and "automatically display picture attachments in news mails" in "read ". This prevents computer viruses from running automatically using the default settings of Outlook Express to damage the system.
10. Uninstall Scripting Host. For computers that use Windows 98 operating system, choose "Add/delete programs" in "Control Panel" to check whether Windows Scripting Host is installed. If the installation is completed, uninstall it and check that the wscript.exe file exists in the Windows installation directory. If yes, delete it. Some email computer viruses are damaged by using Windows Scripting Host.
11. Be cautious when sending out emails for attachments sent out by yourself. Check carefully before sending emails. Although computer viruses in e-mails are terrible, computer viruses can still be used safely as long as they are properly protected against computer viruses.
Based on the descriptions of the worm and the symptoms of its outbreak, I believe everyone has a deep understanding of it. Because the worms spread over the Internet, in today's highly developed network era, the worms are hard to prevent. We only need to build a firewall on our computers and develop good Internet surfing habits, to minimize the risk.
