Get smart with 5 minutes tutorials/IT-Security/Part 6: Ideas for a more secure Internet

.

Hi,

What we already learned in Part1 + Part2 + Part3 + Part4 + Part5:

.

The browser, such as: Internet Explorer [IE], Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari + … is the entrance portal for malware. You use your browser to navigate Internet and if your browser and add-ons are not updated they might lead you to a “drive-by-download“; thus meaning you infect your computer by only visiting a web site!!!
