Even if the message is from a co-worker, friend or family member, be careful before opening a link or downloading an attachment that you don't expect.

Any hard disk or USB memory connected to a personal or company computer can contain different types of viruses. It is a common approach for hackers to gain access to a network through a series of codes present on a pendrive drive, and they are capable of infecting the entire system with a virus or a Trojan.

Visiting unknown links we run the risk of ending up on a website that could access your computer through malicious files or obtain all kinds of information about our system. Open suspicious chats, emails or SMS carefully, be careful even with URLs that seem legitimate and check all the information they refer to.

Running the latest updates should also be done in a reasonable way, treating with caution especially those associated with Microsoft Windows or oriented to security. Always keep your operating system, programs, and browser add-ons updated, which can also be vulnerable. Run tools to check installed add-ons and their versions.

Pirated software contained in applications such as BitTorrent for the illegal exchange of music, movies or copyrighted software, can be another risk to consider. Sometimes these files and programs contain viruses, spyware, Trojans, or malicious software.
