Prac­tice safe text

What kinds of “access doors” are open on your device, and which kind of viruses can pass through? Prac­ti­cally none, as long as you have acti­vated a fire­wall and installed antivirus software.

Unless you take action, your com­puter, tablet or smart­phone is defence­less in the face of internet danger. Anyone can use mal­ware (viruses, worms, tro­jans, etc.) to view, manip­u­late and even delete your data. That’s why you should check that you have antivirus soft­ware installed and a fire­wall acti­vated on your device.

There is also an inter­view with secu­rity expert Dominik Schupp you can read on this topic (in German).

Check the s-u-p-e-r.ch web­site and «eBanking – but secure!» (EBAS) (https://www.ebas.ch/en/) from 3 May onwards to dis­cover the dan­gers you need to be aware of, and what simple steps you can take to pro­tect yourself.

Mal­ware is a gen­eral term for soft­ware that can harm com­puters and their users. It covers things like viruses, tro­jans and worms.”
