Quick Tip #3

Do we have a false sense of security?

When it comes to the security software on their computer, what Americans say they have, doesn’t match up with what’s actually there. McAfee/NCSA Cyber Security Survey

Expired Anti-Virus Software. While 92% of Americans think that their anti-virus software is up to date, just 51% have current anti-virus software that has received an updated DAT file within the past week.

Disabled Firewall. Even though 73% of Americans think they have a firewall installed, only 64% actually have it enabled.                                                                                  Quick Tip #4

Less than half have anti-spyware protection. While 70% think they have anti-spyware software, just 60% actually have it installed. No Phishing Protection. More than twice as many Americans report having antiphishing software as actually have it installed (27% vs. 12%).
