password safety hacking

It happens. But when you've been hacked, don't just sit on your hands. It's time to take evasive action:

• Remove the computer virus: Antivirus software can help you find and destroy it.

• Update your software: Download the latest versions of all your programs, especially Internet browsers like Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft (MSFT) Internet Explorer. Pay special attention to Adobe (ADBE) programs, which are often the target of hackers.

• Change all your passwords: Just make sure you do it on a different computer than the one that's infected. If the virus has keylogging software, you're just letting hackers know what your new passwords are.
