General Security Tips

Keep your browser software up-to-date: This is crucial, as new patches are often released to fix existing vulnerabilities in the browser software. This recommendation does not apply solely to the browser software – it is critical to keep the operating system software and any other software you have up-to-date for the same reason.

Run anti-virus software: Anti-virus software provides protection by scanning for and removing malicious files on your computer. There are many excellent options for virus protection software (both paid and free), so it is up to you to do a little research and select a program that fits best your needs.

Avoid public or free Wi-Fi: Attackers often use wireless sniffers to steal users’ information as it is sent over unprotected networks. The best way to protect yourself from that is to avoid using such networks completely.

Disable stored passwords: Nearly all browsers and many websites in general offer to remember your passwords for the future use. Using such feature enables to store your passwords in one location on your computer, making them easier to discover for an attacker if your system gets compromised.
