Online Security
Nowadays, most of us use the internet. We like to e-mail, chat and have fun online as well as use it to buy and sell things and do our banking.
Unfortunately, it also provides opportunities for criminals to:
- Infect your computer with spyware and steal your identity
- Mess up your computer with pop-ups and viruses
- Send you spam and scam e-mails
- Trick you into visiting fake websites and handing over personal information
- Hack into your wireless network
It is better to stop a problem before it happens than try to fix it afterwards – and protecting yourself is probably a lot easier than you think.
