Good Tips

A few things you should know...


HOW TO PROTECT YOUR PC FROM INTRUSIONS & VIRUSES
It is very important you keep your system updated and safe against instrusion and viruses. If your own computer is not safe, then your personal information can be stolen without you noticing. Your email addresses, your credit cards numbers could all be used by unfriendly people.
1- Make sure your firewall is turned on when you are connected to the Internet. Windows XP has an integrated firewall but Windows 98 doesn't (you need to install one).
2- You must regularly update your windows operating system with all the security patches from "windows update" (windowsupdate.microsoft.com)
3- You should have an anti-virus installed on your computer and make sure it is updated regulary with new virus definitions.
4- Never use or install a program you are not sure of. Some sharewares and freewares such as Kazaa include malicious adwares that will pollute your computer with unwanted advertizing.

HOW TO PROTECT YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS FROM SPAM
1- Never give your address to an unreliable source.
2- Never put your email on a web page, unless it is coded in a special way (javascript, image etc.) so that "spiders" are unable to "sniff" it.. If you do not know how to do this, please contact us and we'll do it for you.
3- As much as possible, chose an email that is not easy to guess... Avoid using common names... Click here to see a list of some "guessable" email addresses that you would better avoid.

HOW TO SHOP ONLINE SAFELY WITH A CREDIT CARD
1- You must trust the company (good reputation etc.).
2- The page where you type your credit card number must have an address that beggins with https:// instead of http://
3- Make sure there are no security warnings telling you that the page or parts of it are not secured.
