Hackers&#13;<br \/>jeopardize your online security with invasive computer techniques to&#13;<br \/>steal your passwords, personal information, even identity.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Unscrupulous marketers bait you with free software that unleashes&#13;<br \/>spyware, trojans, or worms, on your system. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>While other marketers bombard you with popups at every turn. And &#13;<br \/>others send unsolicited spy emails asking you to click links to unsafe websites that install threating software on your computer, or try to download your private information. &#13;<\/p>\n<p>These are only a few of the security issues involved while online.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>Read through the following list to arm your computer and protect yourself against these vicious and often malicious online attacks.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>1. Install a good anti-virus software.&#13;<br \/>Here&#8217;s a good free anti-virus software&#8230;&#13;<br \/>Fr** AVG Anti-Virus&#8230;&#8230;&#13;<br \/>New &#8211; AVG Fr** Edition is now available for all single home users &#13;<br \/>worldwide! More detailed information can be found in the AVG Free &#13;<br \/>Edition License Agreement.&#13;<br \/>Click Here To Download:&#13;<br \/>http:\/\/www.grisoft.com\/us\/us_dwnl_free.php&#13;<\/p>\n<p>2. Install a personal firewall.&#13;<br \/>This personal firewall is one of the best online&#8230;.&#13;<br \/>http:\/\/www.zonealarm.com&#13;<\/p>\n<p>3. Install a good pop up blocker.&#13;<br \/>Google has a free pop up blocker so does Yahoo. The only drawback&#13;<br \/>is you will have to download and install their toolbar.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>4. Know Privacy Policy.&#13;<br \/>Read the websites privacy policy before releasing personal information.&#13;<br \/>Note do they share or sell your information with third parties. If they do you might reconsider releasing your personal information.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>5. Passwords.&#13;<br \/>Never use easy to guess passwords like your favorite color, your social security number, your birthdate, words less than six characters. Mix up passwords with combinations of numbers and symbols.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>6.Virus Warnings. &#13;<br \/>Don&#8217;t forward virus warnings you receive in emails. It&#8217;s not your&#13;<br \/>job to warn others. And you might be circulating a fake warning&#13;<br \/>designed to scare receivers into downloading trojans or removing&#13;<br \/>important files on their computer.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>7. Keep It Secret.&#13;<br \/>Don&#8217;t give your password to anyone. Be wary of emails asking you to give out your personal passwords for accounts online. Or emails asking you to click a link and enter your password on the site. This site might be a fake sent by hackers &#8220;phishing&#8221; for victims.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>8. Primary Email Address.&#13;<br \/>Don&#8217;t divulge your primary email address on unfamiliar sites. You&#13;<br \/>might be bombarded with unsolicited emails by marketers who&#13;<br \/>sell your address to third parties online.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>9. Free Accounts&#13;<br \/>Set up several free email accounts with a psuedo name to handle&#13;<br \/>spam, when you register with unfamiliar sites, or to use on chat and message boards.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>10. Chat Line And Message Board Warnings.&#13;<br \/>Don&#8217;t release personal information on chat lines or&#13;<br \/>message boards. This is one way many identity thefts occur.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>____________________________________________________________&#13;<\/p>\n<p>BB Lee is Editor of SmallBizBits News.&#13;<br \/>Visit: http:\/\/www.smallbizbitsnews.com&#13;<br \/>Subscribe Now!
