National Cybersecurity Awareness Month – Tip #2: Malware prevention

October 17, 2019

To help commemorate October as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, be sure to learn how to defend against malware and viruses. Regularly check and download updates to your antivirus program as well as to your internet browser and operating system. Some systems and programs may offer you the ability to perform automatic updates, so be sure to take advantage of these opportunities. Also, look out for phishing attacks that seek to steal your personal and financial information. If you’re not sure about an email or if it looks like it might be phony, never click on any links or open attachments contained within it.
