  What is malware?

  Malware describes a malicious or harmful piece of software designed to damage computers, steal personal information like banking passwords, or use personal computers to attack other devices and websites.

  Some malware masquerades as legitimate programs or emails to gain entry to your computer.

  It can delete or corrupt your files, photos, and videos - even your whole hard drive. Some malware can slow your internet connection and use your data allowance to infect other devices.
   

  How you can protect yourself from Malware

  • Make sure your anti-virus and security software is set to automatically stay up to date
  • Don’t open suspicious email attachments even if they appear to be from a trusted source. Check with the sender before you open files or emails that seem odd or contain spelling or grammar errors
  • Watch out for deceptive pop-up windows and ads. If in doubt don’t click on it. Remember, if it seems good to be true – it probably is

  
  How does Telstra protect customers against malware?

  • Telstra Malware Suppression helps prevent infected computers connected to a Telstra broadband service from being used in botnets (networks of computers infected by malware which can be controlled by a third party to attack computers or send spam email).
  • Telstra Broadband Protect gives Telstra customers automatic protection against known malware threats when they’re connected to their Telstra Broadband Service.
