In this beautiful world computer plays a major role. There is no offices and homes without computer.. Its our duty to protect our computer .Online identity theft is on the rise, with billions of dollars of losses now reported each year. Because “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”, taking certain precautions can help you stay safe.
Here are some easy things you can do to protect yourself online:

  • Never use the same user id you use for email or internet logon for anything else
  • Never use your email password for anything else.
  • Use parental control software if children use the computer
  • Never click on pop up ads as this can install spy ware on your system
  • Avoid browsing to questionable websites
