INPUT ARTICLE: Article: All commercial internet browsers have extensions (also called "plug-ins" or "add-ons") you can download that will block pop-ups and other ads that may be used by scammers. There are also phishing toolbars that will alert you when you're on a site that isn't secure or isn't what it appears to be. Most extensions are free, but some require you to pay a small fee to access. However, free extensions are typically just as effective. You may want to read the reviews for several different extensions before you choose one to use. You should also be aware that some extensions may impede the functionality of legitimate sites that you visit regularly. Multi-factor authentication adds a layer of security beyond a password. No matter how complex and difficult to guess your password may be, it could still potentially be hacked. Multi-factor authentication requires an additional step to verify that you are logging into your account. Typically, the website will send you a code, either in a text message or an email, that you must enter before you can access your account. The code is good for a few minutes, then it expires. The process for enabling multi-factor authentication varies among websites and devices, but it's typically fairly easy to set up. Check the security settings for your account or device to find out if this additional layer of security is available. Check the security settings on your email account to make sure any emails that are likely to be phishing attempts never reach your inbox. With tight security settings, you may find that some emails you actually need end up getting sent to your spam or junk folder. Make a habit of white-listing important email addresses, such as those related to work, school, or bills. Creating labels and filters can also help you organize your email and ensure nothing important falls into spam. Your computer has firewall settings that block incoming connections that may be malicious. Many WiFi routers also have built-in firewall settings that you can use to protect the network itself. Configure your settings to allow connections from devices or networks that you know. You can safely block any other connections. If your router doesn't have firewall capabilities installed, make sure your network is protected with a strong password. Never use an open network to transmit sensitive personal or financial information. If you don't have antivirus protection on your computer, download something as soon as possible. Many antivirus programs require either a subscription or a one-time payment. However, there are some available for free that are sufficient for the average user. Once your antivirus program is installed, download all updates as soon as they're available. The easiest way to do this is to configure your settings so that updates download automatically. The operating system of your computer or mobile device has important security functions that can help protect you from phishing attempts. Keeping your operating system up-to-date ensures you have the strongest available security. As with antivirus software, the easiest way to ensure your operating system is up-to-date is to enable automatic downloads. If you choose to update manually, turn notifications on so that you'll be alerted when there's an update available.

SUMMARY: Lock down your browser with pop-up and phishing blockers. Use multi-factor authentication where possible. Configure your spam filter for maximum effectiveness. Enable firewalls on your computers and network. Set up robust antivirus protection. Update all digital devices at least once a week.
