He manages the student computer center and was also very knowledgeable about computer protection techniques.
Also, he started with explaining the basic difference in the vulnerability in a Mac compared to a Windows PC.
Thus we knew that since on Macs, no software can get downloaded without the owner's permission which makes it much safer.
He went on to explain us phishing and how there are people whose sole purpose is just to get other people's private information. So to protect ourselves against this, he said that we should clear our history timely and empty the cache.
Later, he brought to our notice how important it was to update our computer regularly. If it was possible to do it on a daily basis then even that would be very desirable. At the same time, he taught us how to work this new software called ccleaner which would help protect a PC against phishing and other types of such scams.
I believe that this lecture was very helpful and taught me a lot about my computer and its protection.
We should protect now, so that we don't regret later.
