Computer Security Habits

Just a quick idea.
Computer security is a habit. There are a few things that need to be done consistently, and they are not difficult. They are also not expensive.
- # Use a password on your computer. These days, the threats you let in on your computer might be just bad habits your friends have. You probably don’t distribute your car keys to all the people who come over to a party at your house, and you probably don’t want to allow anybody who comes over access to your personal stuff. It’s none of their business. The government has approved the airport search team to look at the content of your computer, if you are going on international flights. This has obvious security and privacy issues, and if you have sensitive business files on your laptop or your home computer, you want them behind a password. Unexpected users on your home machine might not be as careful as you are and you might collect spyware and worms from them going to unsafe sites.
