Online Security

Welcome to the CCPL Internet Help Desk's Online Security page.  This page is devoted to providing our customers with resources to protect their computers and themselves while online.

We recommend to all of our customers that they use Antispam protection on their home computers. We scan email for viruses, but there are more ways for a computer to become infected than through email. Also, running a personal firewall, either the one built into Microsoft XP, or third-party products, such as ZoneAlarm, or a hardware firewall will further protect your computer fromharm.
