In the PC Maintenance and Security Lab I watched three different tutorials about computer security. The first tutorial I chose to watch was "Tips for Safer Web Browsing". One thing that I will definitely be sharing with others and switching to for the PC I use is using Mozilla Firefox for a web browser. The reason that I will be switching is because Mozilla is more secure than Internet Explorer. I was surprised to find out that Internet Explorer has some security issues.
The second tutorial I watched was "Wireless Network Security". I found this one to be particularly interesting because I think I could use the information provided to make my wireless network more secure. One thing I learned from this that I will definitely be applying and sharing is that the WPA-PSK security option provides the best encryption and security for networks. Also, I found it very surprising that there are sites on the internet with default passwords listed for the different types of wireless networks.
The third tutorial I watched was "Helpful Web Site Resources". The author talks about two web sites that provide information about your computer and how to keep it safe. Using PC Pitstop can give you all kinds of information about your computer, such as the amount of storage capacity available.
With all this information about PC security, what should Mac users be using for security?
