Most Danes use the internet several times a day, but did you know that there are actually people who live exclusively by hacking and abusing innocent people’s sensitive personal information? The internet is a wonderful invention that has made it possible to connect with people on the other side of the globe, but unfortunately there are some who still do not understand the difference between yours and mine. However, you can take a number of precautions if you regularly use the internet to reduce the risk of being exposed to viruses, malware or an outright hacker attack. In this article, we have collected 3 great tips on how to protect your computer and yourself from malicious cyber criminals.
Invest in an Anti-virus program – it may well pay off
New computers often have a license for an antivirus, but it is important to be aware that this license will most likely expire sooner or later, which is why you should either renew it or look for an alternative. There are a host of solid antivirus programs, including Kaspersky, Avast, McAfee and Symantec, all of which do a good job in terms of. keeping your computer free of worms and Trojans. Here at the editorial, however, our recommendations go to BullGuard, which is an effective and not least cheap antivirus program that started in Denmark back in 2001. BullGuard licenses are aimed at private and business, and they offer a variety of package solutions, so that both the more basic and comprehensive needs are covered.

Backup via the cloud and avoid the worst possible
If, contrary to expectations, BullGuard or another antivirus does not detect or detect the virus in question, it may be ’game over’ for all your files if you have not taken a backup, and therefore it cannot be said often enough: take a backup periodically. You can either choose to make backup copies of your files and store them on an external USB connector or drive – alternatively you can use the more modern solution where you store and store your files in the ”cloud”. Here, hackers or malicious programs can not reach your files, and you can thus calmly download them back down as soon as your computer is cleaned.
Use common sense
The last piece of advice is unfortunately not something you can download or buy yourself for-sort of. An old saying goes that if something is too good to be true, then it probably isn’t true either. In other words, you should use your common sense when surfing the web. You probably don’t have any rich uncle in Ghana, and no, you don’t win a million dollars by participating in a stupid questionnaire. Of course, fraudsters are becoming more sophisticated and skilled every single day, and so not everything is as easy to see through as the two cases mentioned, but if you are always skeptical and use your sanity, you will be able to avoid the vast majority of the traps that exist on the vast internet.
