How many times while on the road do you use online entertainment to watch a movie or do not miss the last episode of your favorite series?
The freedom to connect us anywhere and anytime to our favorite channels makes us feel at home and relaxes us so much that we forget the risks we run by connecting to public networks in terms of security and privacy.
For example, during 2017, Avira detected 4.5 billion instances of malware on the devices protected by Avira Antivirus and in Italy an adware was particularly widespread, displaying advertising banners and pop-ups on the devices of users without having authorization by diverting them to third-party websites. Annoying, right?
To avoid it, just a few simple rules are enough:
- Install an effective antivirus software, I have chosen Avira Antivirus to enjoy online browsing without worries
- Use a VPN to watch your favorite programs and connect securely to any public Wi-Fi network without your IP address being tracked.
- Change your passwords regularly and have a different one for each account.
- Keep your device up-to-date, perhaps using a program that will automatically take care of it for you.
And now… you just have to press play!
