2) Turn on Virtual Private Network if you are not an SSA user

3) Install and activate a personal firewall

4) Install and activate anti-virus software with the latest signature files
An anti-virus software helps detect and remove computer viruses from your computer. Always keep your anti-virus software updated with the latest signature files. For more information on anti-virus software, please visit http://www.singcert.org.sg/awareness/antivirus.htm.

5) Use a good anti-spyware tool
Spyware programmes aid in gathering information about a person or organisation without their knowledge. These programmes can enter your computer through software viruses. Do ensure that you use an anti-spyware tool to detect and remove such software. Anti-spyware tools detect and remove such software.

6) Avoid computer-to-computer wireless networking and never connect to unknown wireless networks
Always disable ad-hoc networking to prevent attackers from easily gaining access to information on your computer. You should also disable the auto-connect feature in your wireless settings to protect yourself from sending information through rouge access points. Learn how to disable the auto-connect and ad-hoc networking functions in your wireless settings at http://www.singcert.org.sg/awareness/wirelesslan.htm#wlan_setup2.

7) Be vigilant against phishing scams
Phishing attacks use spoofed or harvested e-mail addresses and fraudulent websites to fool users into entering personal data such as credit card numbers, account user names and passwords. Always exercise caution when dealing with e-mails and ensure that you do not divulge sensitive information to unknown parties. Wireless@SG operators will never ask you for your password or personal security information over e-mail.
