& Online Safety Tips
1:
Everyone who has a Computer
should have Virus and Firewall
software running on their PC.
It
is most important that you use
the update function
of these
programs as your
Security cover
will become out of
Date.
2:
Your operating system comes
with a update facility. When
new
Security problems are found or
improvements are available updates
are made available.
Operating
System updates are an
important part of
PC Security.
Please
Note : You must have a
Genuine Operating System installed
to
use updates.
3:
Consider using an alternative
more secure browser program when
online. Always use the latest version
of the Browser software.
4: Private information can be encrypted and often
password protected using freely available software.
5: If you are unsure of the sender of
any emails you receive, simply delete
them. Emails or their attachments
from unknown sources exposes your
PC to computer viruses.
6: Checking on any company that you
wish to purchase items
from before
making any online payments. enter
the companies name
into a search
engine will provide some clues and
information relating to other peoples
shopping experience with the company.
7:
Ensure when making payments
online that you are on a secure site
by
checking the address bar, it
should read https://
not http://

a padlock
symbol will be displayed
at the foot of the webpage.

best data encryption settings
available to you when using
wireless laptops or desktops.
