#About free software
Free software makes the computer convenient. Especially, does not students use free software? However, if you are not careful, it may cause virus infection and information leakage. There are also many examples that the information in the PC was transmitted without permission to the user with free software. From now, I would like to explain the risks from downloading free software to using.
#Malicious software
Some of the free software are created by malicious users. It is called adware or joke program, there are advertisements on the Internet that are false warnings that the PC's operation is slowing down, or that are expressing high speed PC.If you click on the advertisement, you go to the download page, but do not click it. Perhaps virus software will be downloaded from there.
#Mislead button when downloading
Next, it is attention when downloading. Like the previous comic, depending on the software distribution site, there may be advertisements like the download button around the real download button on the download page (below). With those ads you will not know which is real. I have also made mistakes. If you download from there, malicious software may be downloaded.Many ads have i on the upper right or the upper left. Let's click on the correct download button.
#Judgment of good or bad of software
Also, we recommend that you check other users' ratings before downloading. Because there are cases where malicious software is mixed in the free software itself. Software that contains viruses may be warned by other users. Next is the installation. Some free software may recommend installing other software.There are malicious software, adware, etc. among the recommended software. users can prevent these software from installing.
Stop pressing next without looking at the installation screen, let's install after reading carefully.
#Software Vulnerability and Updates
Finally, it is about software use. This is especially true for software that uses the Internet, but it also applies to shareware (paid software), can be found Vulnerability. You can find Vulnerability in hackers and others, risking the extraction of personal information and virus infection.
This can fill Vulnerability by updating the software. However, updating the update that improves them may cause the free software to be slow (paid software is relatively early). This is also the difference between paid software and free software. As soon as there is an update let's update as soon as possible, not to use software that has been aborted.
