Post on December 8th, 2008 by one1

A very good summary of information from SANS Institute.

The Ten Dumbest Things People Do to Mess Up Their Computers

  1. Plug into the Wall without Surge Protection
  2. Surf the Internet without a Hardware Firewall and a Software Firewall
  3. Turn off the Antivirus Because It Slows Down Your System
  4. Install and Uninstall Lots of Programs, Especially Freeware
  5. Keep Your Hard Drive Full and Fragmented
  6. Open All Email Attachments
  7. Click on Everything
  8. Believe that Macs Don’t Get Viruses
  9. Use Easy, Quick passwords
  10. Don’t Bother with Backups

Now I’m certain that somebody will deliver a comedic version of this list but the ten items listed here are things to make certain YOU do not do.
