Many users compromise their Windows security through unsafe habits. Common mistakes include downloading software from untrusted sources, which can lead to malware infections. It is advised to only download from official websites and use protective browser settings. Using weak or reused passwords is another risk. Passwords should be complex and unique for each account. Utilizing a password manager and enabling multi-factor authentication can enhance security. Disabling antivirus and firewall protections also increases vulnerability. Users should keep these protections active and install security updates regularly to safeguard their systems from threats.
