What are some ways to protect your laptop computer?
Many people who deal with lapsop usually think all the security you need is just making sure it doesn't get a virus, or spyware or other types of software related problems. The truth is that what good does that do, if someone simply steals your laptop right from under your nose? None.
Besides installing that type of software you should also do things to protect your actual physical laptop too.
You should always hide the laptop when not using it. Leaving your laptop out for everyone to see is just not wise. If they can't see it in the first place, they will have no desire to steal it. There might be someone who wasn't even planning on stealing it, but if they see it ripe for the pickings they might not be able to help themselves, because, hey, free laptop! That's pretty inviting.
Also, don't use a regular laptop bag. Sometimes people see a laptop bag and steal it because they assume it has a laptop in it, even if they get home to realize it didn't. Also, if you use a regular bag for your laptop, it will cut down on people thinking you have one.
