Security threats

Whenever you use your computer you are exposed to risks that can compromise your security. We describe some of these threats here and give you advice on how to avoid them.

Viruses and Worms

Viruses may arrive as attachments in email messages or via instant messaging programs and corrupt or malicious programs may be hidden in software you install or you can get if from web sites that are not secure.

Malicious Software

Viruses, Trojan horses and worms may be used to install malicious software on your computer.
Malicious individuals may also take advantage of the social networks to entice you to visit
bogus web sites or open email attachments containing malicious software and install this
software on your computer. They then use this software for a variety of illicit purposes.

Here is advice on how to avoid these threats

1. Protect your computer. Install security software on your computer.
2. Do not open links and attachments in e-mails sent by persons you do not know.
3. Scan all e-mail attachments.
4. When in doubt do not click links or open attachments even from persons you know. Make sure you confirm with the person. Because if your friends computer has been compromised the computer can be sending e-mails with virus or links to malicious sites without your friend knowing it.
5. When in doubt do not click links or open attachments from companies you know. To persuade you to launch a virus mail attachment or provide your personal information, virus authors must earn your trust. They try to accomplish this by composing convincing-looking messages that appear to be sent from Microsoft, your ISP, or some other entity you do business with. The message may even contain links to a counterfeit version of the company's Web site, complete with genuine-looking graphics and corporate logos.
6.  Be careful when surfing. You can get a malicious script from a webpage and not know it. If you ever get a window asking if you want to allow an automatic install, say "No" unless you know the site requesting the install.
7. Stay away from file-sharing sites. Sites that distribute illegal versions of software, music, or "free movies" are known to be riddled with Virus and Trojans.
8. Watch out for pop-up windows asking you to install a program. Read what the pop-up says and make a decision about if you really need to install what is suggested.
9. Do not give your password to anyone. A company will never ask you for your password and LiiPoker will never ask for your password.
