Securing Your Devices

Wouldn't it be great if our computers & phones were secure out of the box? Sadly they never are, so just as we try to keep our own bodies healthy, we need to look after our devices too.

Along with practising safe internet behaviours, a bit of care and attention on our phones and computers will go a long way in the battle against viruses and hackers.

Virus Protection

Viruses can steal money, destroy files, & spy on what we do. Keeping software updated and using antivirus helps keep them away.
