Internet Privacy Protection Ten Secrets _ security related

The internet is a double-edged sword, on the one hand to bring convenience to daily life, on the other hand, hackers to invade the computer system to open more channels. How should the general Netizen guard against? Look at the top ten secrets you can use to protect your privacy:

1. Anonymous browsing, because many websites use cookies to track the internet activities of netizens, so as to determine the preferences of netizens. You can turn off your computer's option to receive cookies while you're using your browser to avoid being tracked by cookies.

2. Remember to read the website's privacy policy before making any online transaction or email, because some websites will sell your personal data to a third party.

3. Install personal firewalls to prevent personal data and financial data from being stolen. Timely upgrade is a very important part, otherwise the role of the firewall is not fully played, the possibility of being attacked is still very large. In addition, you can use security software to keep important information confidential and reduce the likelihood of inadvertently sending this information to unsafe websites.

4. Use security software or firewalls to prevent hacker attacks and spyware (a software that connects external servers and transmits personal data to the network). These software can protect personal computers and data from hackers and prevent spyware from automatically connecting to your site and sending you information.

5. When shopping online, make sure that you have a safe way to connect. You can determine whether the connection is secure by looking at the latching icon (closed lock icon) above the browser.

6. Hackers sometimes pretend to be representatives of Internet service providers and ask for your password and personal data, and keep in mind that you do not disclose this information to anyone on the internet.

7. Change your password frequently, using a seven-digit password that contains letters and numbers, which interferes with hackers using software programs to search for the most common passwords.

8. Turn off these features when you do not need file and print sharing. File and print sharing is useful, but it also exposes your computer to hackers looking for security vulnerabilities. Once the hacker has entered the PC, he can steal the privacy information.

9. Do not open email attachments from strangers. These attachments may contain a Trojan horse program that allows hackers to drove real computer documents, even control peripherals, and some hackers can even sneak into the Internet camera (WEB camera) for surveillance. In addition, you should install an anti-virus program to protect your computer from viruses, trojans, and worms.

10. Can use the network security company's real-time inspection. For example, use the Security check feature located on the Symantec Web site to determine whether your computer has the ability to protect against computer viruses and malicious code. This feature also scans the computer for vulnerabilities and viruses, and compares the results with other systems that have been scanned. So far, more than 3 million users have browsed the site and recommended it.

In a word, in the network security more and more important today, each netizen do not hold "be black will not be Me" lucky psychology, only good defense work to do.
