Whats the best advice to keep hackers from getting into your computer?

If you're running Windows...





1. Make sure you're using a hardware firewall (a network appliance like a Netgear/Linksys/etc. firewall/router). The firewall inside of Windows doesn't count.





2. Check for Windows Security Patches weekly.





3. Run Anti-virus and anti-spyware software and update/run them at least monthly.





Or...





Run Mac OS X or LINUX and don't do any of the above.Whats the best advice to keep hackers from getting into your computer?
Get linux, there are no virii for it.Whats the best advice to keep hackers from getting into your computer?
Secure all of your Ports so that they do not become hijacked, 80, 81, and 8080 in particular (your internet ports) so they can not connect or DOS you with multiple packets. Get a Firewall operating on your system and Spyware Protection (Protects from RATS, a hackers favorite tool). :)
well, stay away from grey-area website (like hacked program website,etc)... instal a firewall and antivirus in your pc.
1. Get a router. Most routers these days also serve as decent firewalls, and provide an extra measure of security.





2. Don't do ordinary work from an administrator account. That way, if someone tries to exploit your account to do something bad, he'll fail because your account probably won't have the proper permissions.





3. Don't use Windows. It is an incredibly poorly designed OS that has no place in a secure computing environment.





4. Whatever OS you use, put some effort into understanding it so that you can understand where its weak spots are.
Get a mac!





THEY DON'T GET HACK!
