Computer security has an important role in one's life of computers. This subject should not be taken lightly. Everytime you go online your system is tested. Below I have given you some good tips for your computer life.
1. New Computer
When buying a new computer, it is important for you to turn the firewall on. The firewall will not protect you all the way but somewhat. Its better than nothing.
2. Email
Attachments in unknown emails are usually a threat. Never open any attachment from an unknown email. Sometimes, the email subject said something about you getting a greeting card and ask you to click the link inside that email. These emails can contain anything from viruses or spyware.
If the link inside that email is something like an ip address (http://aaa.bbb.x.y/) instead of a domain name, never click it.
