7 tips for safety on internet

1. Use Anti-virus software. Although there are many types of malicious software you can keep your computer safe from them using anti-virus software. I recommend using a internet security suite from Kasper sky.

2. Turn on the firewall of your computer. Firewalls are like guards, they blocks or open data flow into your computer. Unblock only those softwares that you trust.

3. Use a proxy while connecting to the internet. This will make sure you are autonomous on the internet. Nobody will get your IP address (only way to track a computer on the internet) because you connect only to proxy and the proxy will do all other jobs of connection to the internet.

4. Do not use same user name and password on multiple accounts and change your password form time to time.

5. Be aware of phishing attacks. Always check the domain name before you give away your personal information like credit card information.

6. Keep your system updated. Update your anti-virus program daily, install new service packs for your operating system and use latest version of browser.

7. Do not type your user name and password in all the websites. Instead use password memory software like roboform. This will ensure that even if your computer will key logger viruses your user name and passwords will never be logged.
