Re: Computer good practices

I understand a lot of these, but a lot are also just personal preference. For example:

- Use Linux IF you think it will increase your productivity, or if you are concerned about viruses.
- Don't choose a free anti-virus just because it's free. Eset and Kaspersky are easily two of the best anti-virus programs I have used, costing only $30-40 a year.

As far as "good practice" is concerned, there is something that hasn't been mentioned yet:

- Change your passwords, especially after discovering any viruses, Trojans, etc.
- Don't keep your passwords in an unencrypted text file on your computer, or any unencrypted file for that matter. If you must keep them on your computer, encrypt. Otherwise, either keep them in your head or on paper in a safe place.
