Be cautious with links and attachments

Social engineering is common. Slow down before clicking unexpected links, downloads, or email attachments.

Keep reliable backups

Good backups are essential for protecting your data and recovering from malware, hardware failure, or mistakes.

Use anti-malware protection

Keep protection active and updated, and ask for help if you are unsure whether your system is configured correctly.

Ask for help early

When something seems wrong, getting help sooner can reduce data loss and prevent infections from spreading.
