Is Your Web Browser Putting You At Risk?

It's free, it comes with Windows and it's used by approximately 94% of the Internet population. It also poses an unacceptable security risk. What am I talking about? If you guessed Internet Explorer, you're right on the money. So, is your web browser putting you at risk? If you're one of the 94% using Internet Explorer, the answer is a definite *yes*. By my math, quite a few people require critical information for protection.

What's the problem with Internet Explorer (known as "IE" from here out) and how does it put you at risk? The main problem with IE is the numerous security flaws.

6 Essential Steps to Protect Your Computer On the Internet For Free

Recently one of my friends asked me to check out if his computer was infected by virus. He suspected because occasionally the computer was shut down automatically when connected to internet.

I'm not network security expert but I know some basic things he must do to protect his home PC.

It was a shock when he told me that his 4 years old PC had no protection except McAfee anti-virus.

• McAfee anti-virus software came with the PC when bought and no updates since then.
• No firewall installed.
• No anti spyware installed.
