Reboot –

Many people overlook rebooting their devices. This should be your first step when a device is not functioning properly.

A reboot helps free up resources, clear memory, and make devices run smoother. Do this weekly to stay on top of it.

Scan frequently-

Open your antivirus program and select “Scan Now”. You can set up a scheduled scan to happen at regular times; this is covered in a later section.
We highly recommend that you scan your device once weekly at a minimum to ensure your system stays free of malware.

Lock your devices-

Use a password protected account on every device and lock them when unattended. This is especially important at work; you never know who will peek in when you are away.

Use a 6-digit pin, when possible or a password greater than 12 characters. 

Check links before you click!

Get a link checker such as DrWebb (all browsers). An example is an http://bit.ly from Facebook link that leads to an Amazon page.

It can also lead to a malicious website and you won’t know until you click it.

Log out when done-

This is one of the most important tips on this page. Log out of accounts when done to prevent a “session hijack”. This is like holding the door open for a stranger, letting them into your account by accident.
