Don't Accept Offers of "Free PC Scans" That Pop up When You Use the Internet

Secure Computers LLC paid a $1,000,000 fine for offering "free spyware scans" that told users their systems had been infected with spyware, even if the system was clean. They are not the only ones doing this — when you surf the Web you are still likely to see pop-up windows like that. Some "scans" don't just give misleading results; they actually try to install unwanted software on your PC. Often the screen pop-ups only have a "scan" button and no "cancel" or "quit" option. In fact they could interfere with your PC no matter which of the buttons you choose. Be safe: close pop-ups like this by clicking on the X in the top right corner of the browser window. Better yet, use a pop-up blocker software (http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2170208/security-firm-pay-million-false).

Avoid Ad-hoc wireless networks

Disable automatic connection to any new networks and limit your connections to access point (infrastructure) networks only:
Click the "Start" button and navigate to the "Control Panel" and then to "Network Connections."
Right mouse-click on the "Wireless Network Connection" and choose "Properties".
Pick the "Wireless Networks" tab, then the "Advanced" button:
Make sure that the check box next to "automatically connect to non-preferred networks" is not checked.
Click on Access point (infrastructure) networks only to avoid ad hoc networks. This configuration prevents you from automatically connecting to any new networks and refuses all ad-hoc networks, which have the potential to monitor traffic that passes through them.
