To protect you computer against internet scum and frauds, be careful in searching below words:
Lyrics: lyrics of a song, since most children in the age of 12-15 don’t know better to just click on ANY link.
Free or Gratis: Nop matter you know different languages or not but words like this can make you in trouble . Spyware, adware, and viruses leak freely to these search terms.
Gear, gadgets, and games – If you want to get aware of what’s the latest in gadgets, please visit here more often.
Olympics – Michael Phelps was amazing for the United States,because he won all th medals. , but now people are wondering what his next move is… This could lead to spyware being installed on your computer also.
Videos – one of the most vulnerable thins is video, like YouTube, which is Flash.
These are the advises :1) Anti virus and ad ware software, run every single day. Ad-Ware, SpyBot, Symantic…these should all be companies that you are not only aware of but also quite familiar with when it comes to online safety. These programs will help keep your identity safe.
2) Monitor your childrens’ activities on the internet. Just make sure that they aren’t giving out any personal information to anyone on the internet.
3) Make sure that there are certain steps that you are taking to prevent identity theft other than those listed above. This weekend Lizzie mentioned shopping online for things. Well, most credit card companies now offer ways to shop a little safer including virtual numbers. With a virtual number you can shop and if some online retailer decides to take your credit number for a “spin” they won’t get very far.
Keep these things in mind and perhaps you can have a clear conscious when going to bed at night.
