10 suggestions for safe Internet access in 2014

The following 10 suggestions are provided by Trend Micro for how to maintain secure Internet access in 2014. You can collect them as a reference for safe Internet access.

1-install or maintain a set of robust security software for your computer and mobile devices, which can be updated on a regular basis and not only provide anti-virus protection.

2-if you use a credit card, pay attention to your monthly bill. If there is any fraudulent consumption, contact the bank as soon as possible to deny it.

3-continuously check and adjust the privacy settings on social platforms such as your Weibo and QQ space. If you want to change jobs in the next year, please restrict the access to your published text and text friends. In addition, you need to know that everything you do on social platforms is not private.

4-change the password of all your network accounts to ensure that each new password contains at least 10 characters, including English letters (uppercase and lowercase), numbers, and special characters.

5-start or continue implementing PIE (protecting Protection, intuitive Intuition, and educating Education) to stay smart on the Internet.

6-do not fall into the phishing scam trap. Be skeptical. Every email in your mailbox may attempt to steal your identity information.

7-think about it before you press "publish" or "Confirm ,... Sharing too much may cause sequelae, sometimes even after several years. Think about what you want to share, and it will not cause harm to yourself in the future.

8-when you shop online, you must use a payment method to prevent fraud. We do not recommend that you use electronic remittance and money order for online shopping, because once you remit the money, you cannot get the money back.

9-Lock your mobile phone with a password and set the screen lock function, so that your mobile devices will automatically lock after being idle for a period of time.

10-if you have children at home, restrict them to the Internet and monitor their online activities. You must use the parental control function. This should be part of your security software function, just like Trend Micro PC-cillin cloud security software.

We wish you a safe and happy April!
