Webmail X

Sometimes called web-based e-mail, it allows you to view your e-mails using your web browser instead of using a desktop-based program such as Outlook or Outlook Express. Your e-mails are not downloaded onto your computer and remain stored remotely on your providers server. Not only does it prevent viruses from getting to your computer but allows you to access your mail from any other internet connection.

User AccountsX

If you are running the Windows operating system you can set up two types of user account... Administrator or Limited. It's done via the Control Panel and if you haven't yet set up any user accounts then you will be logged-on as an Administrator with full access to all parts of your computer.

If you are online when logged-on as a Limited User then over 90% of any nasty malware that you could come across, is prevented from covertly accessing your computer.
