Several tips to create strong password
Using passwords that are strong or utilizing authentication technology that is strong helps you protect your personal info.
As much as possible, keep all your passwords in a secure and safe place. Do not share your passwords over the Internet, phone or e-mail.
Remember that your ISP should not ask your password.
Hackers have the ability to acquire your password, unless of course you make it difficult for them to guess it through the following efforts: use passwords that contain eight characters including with it symbols and numerals; avoiding words that are common; avoiding using personal info; changing regularly your passwords (at least every three months).
A good way of creating a password is to come up with a phrase that is memorable and using first letters of every word as the password of your choice. Convert these letters into particular numbers that look like letters.
Do not forget to back up files that are important The fact of the matter is that there is no such system that is one hundred percent secure. If there are any files that are important and are currently stored in your own computer, always copy them in discs that are removable.
After which, store them in a place that is secure.
You could also consider software encryption. It is also best if the start-up disks in the original software you bought are readily available just in case your computer system crashes.
All in all, helping your children safe from online security threats is an effort that is well worth it.
Make your computer immune to attack
Prevention is always better than a pound of cure. Believe it or not, it is now utterly impossible to survive without a computer. Almost anything and everything could be done on-line nowadays.
From purchasing to selling to paying bills, one really need not go out as any transaction could actually be made thru the computer thanks to the Internet. Unless, of course, fresh air is also available online.
The instance you detect that the computer you own is infected with a virus, the following are helpful tasks that you could do to protect it further and to also avoid other personal computers to be affected as well.

Potential Abuse of Password Recovery Tools
Password recovery tools could be abused and used for the wrong purposes. The warning came in light of a launch of the first commercially-available password recovery tool for OpenOffice, a popular application suite based on open source technology.
Graham Cluley, Sophos' senior technology consultant, said password recovery tools can be used for both good and bad. "It's a grey area in software. Cottage industries for such tools are mushrooming. These applications can help people, but in the wrong hands they're a bit of a security concern." Cluley said in a report by ZDNet.
Paul Wood, MessageLabs's senior analyst, agreed with Cluley. He said the availability of password recovery software poised the risk of a possible attack from disgruntled employees.
"One attack vector is if a rogue employee has access to file-share password-protected documents. They can copy them, take them offline, and brute-force them at their leisure," Wood said.
He added that companies should also consider managing privileges and other encryption technology for sensitive documents.
Intelore earlier announced the release of its OpenOffice Password Recovery software, which allows users to recover OpenOffice passwords and remove formatting and editing restrictions on documents.
