In this class, students will learn tips and tricks for protecting their computers and files. Too often, computer security appears to be difficult to understand. The instructors will demystify computer security and help students with practical advice: what should users patch, what antivirus applications should they install, what other steps should they take

During the session, we will cover several topics including: operating system security, anti-malware, application security, user activities on the computer, and security tools to consider.
