safeguard files we share with our friends. Here are some suggestions: have an
internet connection firewall, use passwords that are very difficult for others to guess, do not over-share files or folders, keep track on your Microsoft windows updates, and use an antivirus software.

Such is the most likeable advantage of networking, but there inevitable occurrences when we lose the files most important to us and lose money. There are quick security measures that, if only we are serious in guarding our files, could result in a healthy sharing of files and hassle-free business transactions.
