I don’t know about everyone else, but I’m always concerned about network security both on and off the road. So I thought I’d post a list of what I use to feel safe when going on the Internet.

On my Windows System:

  • Norton’s Internet Security: Comes with Norton Anti-Virus, Spam Blocker, A Firewall and some parental controls
  • Password Protected machine: I require a login on my Windows system. Keeps nosey folks from seeing what I’m up to. Smiley
  • Chek in with DSLReports at each new location: I always check my open ports using DSLReports’ security testing tool.
  • I use Mozilla’s Firefox Web Browser: Very secure web browser with a ton of great features.

On my Mac

  • Apple’s Built in Firewall: OSX comes with a great built in firewall. It’s located under System Preferences, Sharing. Always on!
  • Norton’s Anti-Virus: Just Norton Anti-Virus for Macintosh.
  • Password Protected machine: I require a login on my Windows system. Keeps nosey folks from seeing what I’m up to. Smiley
  • Chek in with DSLReports at each new location: I always check my open ports using DSLReports’ security testing tool.
  • I use Mozilla’s Firefox Web Browser: Very secure web browser with a ton of great features.

Want to get the firefox browser? Look in the column to the right under sponsors, and click the Firfox Icon. It’s free!
