Some great advice from PC World Online.

1. Set up two-factor authentication to protect their internet accounts, especially email. It can be particularly useful when stopping hackers who are trying to steal login passwords from users, whether through malware or email phishing schemes.
2. Businesses need to first think about what assets they’re trying to protect from cyber threats, as opposed to blindly buying the latest security products.
3. Many people still think hackers will never target them, but that assumption is wrong. Everybody’s information is valuable.
4. When a company gets hacked, it’s largely because there’s a computer, a box, a website that they didn’t know they owned.

• unusual messages, images, or sound signals;
• CD-ROM tray opens and closes voluntary;
• programs start running without your command;
• messages are displayed informing that one of your programs is attempting to access the Internet without your command.

Then it is likely that your computer is infected with malware.

Additional signs of email infections:

• Your friends or colleagues tell you about having received emails sent from your email box which you did not send;
• A lot of messages without a sender address and subject in your mailbox.
• It must be admitted that such signs are not always explained by presence of malware. They may have some other explanation. For example, the issue with weird emails may be the result of somebody sending infected emails with your sender address from some other computer, not necessarily yours.
