Protecting Your Computer?

[ridha inoue]

So far I have never had a problem with my wallet or computer security.
and my friends are almost all cryptocurrency and we together maintain the privacy of each of us.
I also do not use security such as bitlocks or the like because I think cryptocurrency is still in a safe stage.
after reading this thread I thought I would start to consider the security of my laptop and start installing security that was more stringent than before.
Thanks for this thread.

I have two separate computers. The first one is for personal use. If anything happens to it, like it got malware or virus, I simply wipe the drives and reformat it.

The second one is for crypto and online banking use. This one I only plug into the internet when I use it to transfer coins, make online transactions or update anti-virus and anti-malware. Other than that, it is unplugged or unconnected to the internet. By isolating it to the rest of the world, it is completely safe from hackers and viruses.

If you really want a secure computer install Linux on your computer and put a password on every exploitable hole that you find. And if you have some Bitcoin use a hardware wallet or you can also use an offline computer for your own, in that way you will never gonna get hack. Simple suggestion yet too effective unless someone stole your own PC/Laptop.

Getting hacked is one of the risks of using a computer that is connected to the internet. I'm guilty of keeping my passwords and private keys on my laptop. Although I'm always with it and I don't live in an area where anyone can easily have access to it

if you personally become interested in your otherworldly tournament, then it will be much easier to save all your keys and passwords if you do not make mistakes yourself.  But I want to assure you that if someone is interested in your personality, a good character will find opportunities to steal your information.

These issue of viruses is becoming more and more rampant these days and it becoming a little bit scary for me. I really don't know why people will be out to deliberately set up malware's that will do harmony to other people or even trying to steal personal details of other members. Best to to always stay safe and have backups for all files

Yes, you are right. Linux-based operating systems are more protected against the introduction of viruses. I also prefer to work on it. But besides that, I always use my browser in the sandbox. After closing the browser, everything is destroyed to its original state. From phishing sites, you can protect yourself with extensions for Google Chrome. And of course, do not mix work and entertainment. Let there be two computers for different purposes. This is minimal protection that works very effectively.

I think that you already understand that today no protection will help. If you catch the eye of hackers, in any case they will try to use you and use your mind to hack. You are the weakest place to break.

many airdrops require the download of a proprietary wallet on your computer which is very risky, since you can also install viruses or troians at the same time, if we really want to install something of uncertain origin we must first scan with a good antivirus, as further protection we would add the option to run the programs only with the administrator's permission

[Grenee]

This is very essential even in blockchain. Security is very good because we need to secure our asset, apart from that wallet and other stuff need good security because it might be hacked or lose if there is no good security backing up the system. We all know this no need to say much on it

I have experienced that and often. Indeed, I had previously participated in airdrop. And it really must be done to install a wallet. Indeed it is too dangerous for our computers, but I always do that. And by doing that I have often got a virus from nowhere. Therefore I have stopped to do a suspicious installation for the security of my computer going forward.

You can talk a lot about security, but it doesn’t matter what level of security a wallet has if users don’t know how to properly store their private keys.

without using a security like bitlocker windows, you will still be safe, you just have to be careful "to use the program and also in my opinion installing an antivirus that has protection against computers and the internet is important because of that to avoid phishing, rat etc.

[Wayrey2020]

The first thing is avoiding physical ones such as friends who can enter or access your computer without you noticing them, they are the first you need to watch out for so password your whole computer. Secondly check carefully what you are downloading and links clicking on. Also have a trusted anti virus and paid for it to secure your computer.

[JuanPaulo]

The best computer protection is using a safe Linux operating system on it. I have installed Ubuntu Linux on all computers a long time ago and am very pleased with it. I do not need to monitor antivirus programs, because there are no viruses in the Linux operating system.

[CjMapope]

lol windows has this built in for years now
its called secure boot
theres also Microsofts bitlocker
noone will be able to access your files even IF your PC is compromised with those
unless their the NSA haha

[Fuhre]

There is a lot of software that you can use, the more software, the more complicated, I suggest enough 2, with that the hacker has experienced difficulties. I added some security applications. for example

AxCrypt, this is one of the best tools for encrypting all files in your computer. AxCrypt is the leading open-source encryption software for Windows. This software integrates seamlessly with Windows to compress, encrypt, decrypt, send, and work with files individually.

DiskCryptor, is an open encryption solution that offers encryption of all disk partitions, including system partitions. In fact, openness runs in contrast to the current situation, where most software with comparable functions is actually used to protect confidential data.
So try to only protect important data, not need all the data because you will need extra effort

[rosebrand]

It's simple. Do not store private keys, important passwords on a computer that has access to the network. Yes, maybe this is inconvenient. But it is extremely safe.

yes, this method is very easy, but for now it is also difficult if the computer is not connected to network access because this device is unfortunately not used, because at this time access to the network is more important for the needs of computer devices especially if you only have one computer. the most important thing is if a computer connected to the network in using it and surfing in the virtual world must be careful on sites that they visit so that they are not exposed to viruses from a phishing website.

[the rise]

So far I have always been careful in accessing the computers that I use so as to minimize the risks that occur on my computer, because almost all my passwords are stored on the computer even though I have a backup on other devices but when entering passwords it would be better if we rely copy paste without typing manually.
For programs that protect my personal computer, I only rely on premium AV that helps maintain computer health.

Don’t sure about this one especially when you downloaded a suspicious link and you will be dead for sure. Securing your computer should be first before anything else because hackers are to genius and they all have the system to get your personal documents so don’t over confident about your operating system security.
