Digital Spring Cleaning
Thursday, April 9th, 2015 -- 8:15 AM
-The National Cyber Security Alliance and Better Business Bureau say now is the perfect time for a "digital spring cleaning."In many households, spring cleaning is an annual ritual marked by clearing out closets, basements and garages, de-cluttering cabinets, and getting everything spic and span. While making sure your home is in tip-top shape, don't forget about getting a fresh start with your online life as well. Add a digital element to your spring cleaning rite by updating security software, unclogging your inbox, and ridding your smartphone of unused apps.
The bulk of digital cleaning falls into four buckets: keeping a clean machine, staying secure, cleaning up your online reputation, and purging files. Follow NCSA's tried and true STOP.THINK.CONNECT. tips as well as the other advice listed, and you will be well on your way to a safer, more secure online life.
