PC Security

• Control physical access to your personal computer (PC); do what you can to prevent unauthorized people from using your PC.
• If you are using your PC and need to walk away from it for any reason, log off or lock your workstation.
• Select passwords that would be difficult for others to guess and change them frequently.
• Do not give your passwords to anyone. Do not save passwords on your web site or leave written notes with your password near your PC.
  

Virus Management

• Install virus management software on your PC and use it regularly.
• Keep it up to date (i.e., latest signature files, product upgrades).
• Be cautious when downloading and running programs or Java or ActiveX applets as they may contain unsecure data which cannot be filtered, for example, using firewall or anti-virus software.
• Use extreme caution when opening Email received from unknown sources and pay special attention to any attachments. Do not launch or open an attachment from an unknown source. When in doubt . . . delete it without opening it.

PC Software

• Understand and use the security features provided by your PC software, such as those included in many operating systems, browsers and word processing systems.
• Ensure that your browser uses the strongest encryption available and be aware of the level of encryption used when you connect to various sites and applications. For example, TFCU's Personal Access Online Banking currently requires the use of 128-bit encryption.
• Use only software from reliable sources.
• Stay aware of the latest release and patch levels of the PC software you use.
  

Encryption/Browser Update
Encryption is the scrambling of data into a code that is unreadable to anyone who does not have the key that deciphers it. Only you and TFCU have the key to unlock your code. With TFCU's Personal Access, all your account information is protected by 128-bit encryption to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of your data. To take advantage of strong encryption technology, you will need to use a secure browser that supports 128-bit encryption.
