Educate yourself, security is about layers...

Suggestions for Protection:

- get core operating system/application layer security software
- get web browser security software
- get email security that can detect malware, phishing, malicious links, ransomware, etc.
- automate your software patching to avoid running into issues with critical vulnerabilities in hardware, firmware, or software
- get a VPN service to encrypt your data when browsing web (also useful in bypassing country rules or other local security rules)
