Do additional security measures need to be taken if I use a cable modem, satellite or DSL?

0

If you are a cable modem, satellite or DSL user, your PC configuration should include both a firewall and anti-virus software. This is because these types of Internet connections are always “on.” Therefore, if your computer does not have adequate security, others can gain access to the data stored on your computer and/or your computer’s browser. Once installed, we recommend that you update your anti-virus software and firewall on a regular basis, as recommended by the software providers, because new viruses continue to be created. You should always keep your computer and browser updated with current patches as released by your operating system vendor. You should only download patches from official vendors’ web sites and not from third-party web sites. On our part, please be assured that Navy Federal Credit Union is committed to ensuring that your account information via the Internet is safe and secure.
