Strong password Weak security

You could use my password story telling method to make an easy to remember 128 digit passsword although most online servers will only allow upto 32 digits including banks for use in a password you could make the strongest ever password known to man, however if your firewall/anti virus is not up to date chances are you will have some form of malicious software on your machine.

The reason for this is when buy your over-expensive laptop from pc world or dixons or microdirect it comes bundled with normally a 60 day trail of either norton or mcafee both are excellent but expensive.

The best solution is comodo which incorporates anti-virus and personal firewall, it is also free for life, those of you reading this blog who know me personally will know i fully support comodo.
Download comodo here


I also recommend using malware bytes anti malware along side comodo



If you use Ebay i recommend using the firefox edition which you can download here, which ensures you are signing into a genuine ebay site.

Internet explorer users can use a tool here. The Internet explorer tool uses an account guard manager which warns you if you are about to enter your ebay or paypal password on another website.


Another thing i will mention here. If you must sell your old laptop or pc, then its essential you do not include your old hard drive as there is software easily availale on the internet to recover information/data which you thought had been deleted.
