While no system is 100% secure, you can use the following tips to enhance your system’s security: Release 24 Keep the operating system of your computer updated with the latest security patches. Run the system update utility at least weekly. Keep your email program updated with the latest security patches. In addition, avoid opening email containing attachments, or opening files sent through chat rooms, whenever possible. Install a virus checker and keep it updated. Avoid providing web or file-sharing services over your Telephony Gateway. Besides certain vulnerability problems, most cable companies prohibit running servers on consumer-level accounts and may suspend your account for violating your terms of service. DRAFT 1.0 November 2014 Touchstone TG2472 Telephony Gateway User Guide 14 Chapter 3: Getting Started Use the cable company’s mail servers for sending email. Avoid using proxy software unless you are certain that it is not open for abuse by other Internet users (some are shipped open by default).
