The article on truste.org is contains very important information. Things that are useful are firewalls, anti-spyware and anti-virus software. This is a major step to protect our computers. Reading the privacy policy when you go to a website for the first time is very beneficial no matter if it seems to be a waste of time. Getting a pop-up blocker installed while on the internet can help ward off spam or anything else that may try to get on your computer, and blocking bad websites will also help. Using more than one e-mail can help (i.e. one for shopping online, one for personal use, etc.). Try not to get onto many third party websites will also be beneficial. If you copy important files and save them on a disk, even if your computer is hacked you will still have them. If you don't necessarily need to give personal info, don't give it. Make sure your e-mail messages are encrypted. The last thing you can do is log in annonymously when on a website.
