Stay safe while browsing.

Here’s a few suggestions for protecting yourself against web attacks:

• Keep your OS, browser, and browser plugins up-to-date.
• Run anti-virus software, and keep this up-to-date, too.
• Disable or uninstall any software or browser plug-ins you don’t use — this reduces your vulnerability surface.
• If you receive a PDF attachment in Gmail, select “View” to view it in Gmail instead of downloading it.
