Securing my laptop on campus network
Securing my laptop on campus network
You're preparing for college next week and need to secure your laptop. Every student uses a personal device, and the school shares a LAN connection. With Windows 10's sharing features, you're right to worry about data safety. Review settings in Windows to limit sharing—check network settings, disable unnecessary sharing options, and adjust privacy controls. For extra protection, consider free security tools like Avast Antivirus (already installed) and explore open-source alternatives such as ClamWin or OpenVAS. Make sure your firewall is enabled and keep your system updated.
Back in the past, I encountered problems with specific tasks on public networks. I'll give it a shot and handle any issues that arise.
