Today there is a large selection of programs to protect your data online. Some prevent websites from tracking your online activities, while others prevent hackers from installing malware on your computer. Some are available as browser extensions, others need to be installed separately. Perhaps calling them anti-hacker software is too bold. They will not stop a serious hacker, but they will greatly complicate his task of hacking your computer and stealing your data.

For example, browser plugins do not allow websites to track you. Facebook, for example, does this even in the background, saving your browser history and using it in the future to select contextual advertising. The goal is quite harmless, but there have been cases of compromising the data collected by Facebook more than once, so it’s worth taking care of their security.

You need reliable protection against viruses and malware.

Once a keyboard spy gets into your computer, and goodbye, online privacy. In addition, it does not hurt to clean your computer or smartphone from time to time, removing all hacker programs.

You can also install an application that will erase all data from your smartphone in case it is lost or stolen. And if your devices are synchronized, you can remotely erase data from any of them, preventing hackers from accessing your contact list or banking data.

Although this is not exactly anti–hacking software, but a good password manager is worth its weight in gold. Using separate strong passwords for each account is the main precaution to reduce the risk of hacking. But it’s not easy if you have a lot of accounts. A password manager will help secure them, but it can also be hacked, so come up with a strong password for it.

You can install all these security tools separately or use Kaspersky Total Security solution – it has everything for data protection.
