Most people in our country have become very dependent on access to the world via intelligent devices like PC’s, Notebook Computers, Portable Storage and Smart Phones.   Most of us are also regularly exposed to convenience access – like Wi-Fi Networks – which make us amazingly exposed to data and security loss.  We all want this access while preserving our security and critical information while using these technology-assisted devices.  

The good news is that this is not a pipe dream – it is readily obtainable.  For you to enjoy the convenience and of these technology-assisted devices to access the world at large – and do so without compromising data loss or security exposure requires you to become a Smart PC/Mobile User.   That is what we are dealing with in this article – how you can easily and cheaply become a Smart PC/Mobile user.  

Your initial concerns should be on physical security.  We often are shocked when we see the victims of identity theft or data loss acknowledge that, indeed, they had no physical security on the portable devices.   What we are referring to here is the kind of password protected access to these devices that will thwart all but the most seriously dedicated hackers and thieves.  Just having a password as a prerequisite to accessing your Notebook or Smart Phone eliminates an ocean of exposure if you walk away from a coffee shop and your phone is still there.

Second, become a Smart Mobile user of Wi-Fi sites like libraries and coffee shops – known to be haunted by hackers in cars who will snatch your email address and password with amazing ease.   Never use a public access network without a default platform controls (provided by default in Yahoo and Google) or any site.

Eliminate your use of auto-login access to any secure or financial site.   We all enjoy the benefits of this type of convenience but it is simply not worth the risk – only any platform and on any site.

Finally, be sure that all devices have the maximum level of software and access security available.  PC’s and Notebooks should have virus protection and regularly-updated system registry.  Commercially available registry software will allow you to perform the necessary registry fix operations and you can achieve the necessary Registry Repair.

Just this level of self-managed cautionary use of portable technology devices will greatly enhance both your security and peace of mind.
