About 95% Fraud are done during online workings
Here I am listing my 10 tips for online security
1. Always install a good antivirus software and keep it up-to-date. Also install a good anti-spyware to keep your PC away from spywares. Click Here for a list of recommended anti-spyware softwares.
2. Always visit known and trusted websites. If you are about to visit an unknown website, ensure that you do not click on suspectable links and banners.
3. Perform a virus scan on the files/email attachments that you download before executing them.
4. Regularly Update your operating system and browser software. For a better security it is recommended that you surf the Internet through the latest version of your browser program.
5. Never share your password (email, bank logins etc.) with any one for any reason. Choose a strong password (A blend of alphanumeric+special symbols) and change it regularly, eg. every 3 months. Avoid using easy-to-guess passwords. (ex. pet’s name or kid’s name)
6. Always type the URL of the website in your browser’s address bar to enter the login pages. For ex. To login to your Gmail account type http://mail.google.com
7. Before you enter your password on any login page, ensure that you see https instead of http. ex. https://mail.google.com instead of http://mail.google.com. HTTPS protocol implements SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) and provide better security than a normal HTTP. For more information on HTTPS and SSL see Know More About Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
8. Beware of phishing emails! Do not respond to any email that request you to update your login details by clicking on a link in the body of the email. Such links can lead to Fake Login Pages (Spoofed Pages). For more information on phishing refer What is Phishing?. Also refer How to Protect an Email Account from being Hacked.
9. Always hit the logout button to close your login session rather than abruptly terminating the browser window. Also clear your web browser caches after every session to remove the temporary files stored in the memory and hard disk of your PC.
10. Avoid (Stop) using any public computers or computers in the Internet cafes to access any sensitive/confidential information. Also avoid such computers to login to your email/bank accounts. You cannot be sure if any spyware, keystroke-logger, password-sniffer and other malicious programs have not been installed on such a PC.

Internet Connection Security Guides
If you can’t keep a connection, check your modem, phone line, or any software that governs your connection. But there’s a chance your firewall is the nosy culprit. Some ISPs save money by disconnecting idle users to keep them from chewing up modems and bandwidth. To determine if a user is idle, the ISP sends a heartbeat message a small packet of data to test your connection to your machine. Some firewalls anti block heartbeats because they tend to use protocols that hackers also exploit. Zone Labs is one such firewall, but you can instruct it to permit heartbeats. If and when your ISP cuts your connection, open the Zone Labs Log Viewer by clicking the Alerts & Logs button in the Zone Labs interface. Then peruse the list to find the disconnection alert and note the Source DNS in the Entry Detail field. (DNS stands for Domain Name System, the method computers use to translate domains or Web site names into a set of numbers, and vice versa. Once you’ve found the DNS information a series of four numbers separated by dots add it to Zone Labs’ Trusted Zone. If you can’t find the DNS number you need, call your ISP to ask for the DNS number of the server that sends out heartbeats. Tell them why you need it, too, since it’s not every day that someone asks them for private network data. If you keep your firewall in good working order, you can trust it to keep you safe from the threats that mar an otherwise wonderful Web.

3 Important Hotmail Security Features
- SmartScreen. Microsoft's anti-spam technology isn't new. SmartScreen is used for Microsoft's business-strength email services like Exchange and Forefront and to protect against web scams in Internet Explorer. This means that it's got more than enough power to filter out most Hotmail spam. USA Today columnist Edward C. Baig concurs. In a recent article praising the new Hotmail, Baig writes, "Hotmail spam does appear to be drastically reduced." For more information, watch Microsoft's Spam-Fighting Technology in Hotmail.
- Account recovery. We appreciate that Hotmail doesn't give our password out to anyone who asks for it. However, we also appreciate having a way to reclaim our account if it's been compromised. The new Hotmail allows us to use our cell phone number or other identification as proof of account ownership. For example, if you lose your password, or, worse, if your account is compromised, Hotmail will send you an account recapture code via text message to regain access to your account.
- Sweep. Sweep is another way to get rid of spam and other unwanted mail, whether it's a possible security risk to your computer or just plain annoying. Sweep is a virtual broom that lets you "sweep" the mail you don't want out of your inbox into folders or into your trash, leaving your inbox cleaner and safer.
Top 10 Tips To Protect Your PC Online
Do You have ever think why you daily hear about internet fraud?
In this article I will tell you about this that why people do not care online and become a prey of online fraud.
here I am writing 10 important tips for online protection
- It is a proven fact that 75% of American PC users do not use an up to date anti-virus program, this is a program that scans the PC searching for any malicious software, when it discovers them they can either quarantine them or delete them. Some AV programs even scan sites you visit and detect any phishing sites.
- Phishing sites are websites that have been created to look similar to a bank or payment processor such as PayPal. We have all received the emails from our bank stating our account is empty and to log in immediately, the hyperlink in the email you click on looks real, however the site you are taken to is fraudulent, they are after stealing your money! Always make sure your banks website has a padlock image on the toolbar, this shows that it is a secure site for logging in. If you have any doubts contact your bank immediately.
- We all need a firewall to hide behind. This is a piece of software that prevents anyone hacking into our computers, either at home or at work. Once the software is set up it runs in the background. It basically blocks the ports on our computers that hackers use to gain access through the back door. Like the AV, there are plenty of free firewalls.
- Is your computer operating system up to date? When did you last update it? Most people will answer, never. The main reason software manufacturers such as Microsoft provide updates, is to plug any securityvulnerabilities in the software, this is why when they issue an update, its wise to update your system.
- Check any public computers you use, as there are products out there called key loggers, this is an electronic device that logs all keystrokes and can be downloaded. So if you use the library for your online bank or eBay, make sure the keyboard lead connects directly into the computer, if it connects to an extra piece of cable, it could be a key logger. The person who put it there only has to download the information and they have all your details and access to your money! Always log out and do not save any passwords on a public computer – Ever!
- Check public WiFi connections are public! Make sure it is not just another computer acting as a gateway, so you pass your details to them such a credit card and address, then they grant you access to the internet. While you are sending emails, they are using your credit card details to purchase products online!
- Do not share games, as this is how some viruses were transferred from computer to computer. Always run your anti virus software to scan the disc first.
- Do not let anyone one use a flash drive on your computer, as soon as someone plugs a flash drive into acomputer a virus could be transferring to your computer, this may or may not be done on purpose, but the problem is still there, it will take information from your computer and can even email it from your computer, at a later date!
- Physical protection at home and at work, this is essential for preventing your computer and the data stored on it falling into the wrong hands. The PC enclosure is a special steel box, that has been designed for protecting computers, so heating and security issues has been addresses, these units are fully welded and normally bolted to walls, (this is how banks protect their computers).
- Physical protection on the move is essential for laptops, so Kingston Security offers the best option, this is a high grade steel cable that locks into the laptop and ties around a leg of a table, this prevents your personal information being stolen along with the laptop, in a smash and grab robbery.
Internet Security Guidelines
Some Important Tips For The Internet Users
- Today’s computers are connected to the Internet and are therefore much more at risk than their ancestors.
- The Internet is fun but also dangerous.
- People don’t know what they do and can easily be duped.
- The more cool stuff, the more risks.
- The right choice of software and hardware can protect your computer but will not make it 100 percent safe.
- Updates should be applied religiously.
- If you aren’t sure about something, check it. Files and Websites can be analyzed prior to opening.
- Computers are not demons but they can be zombies.
- Browsing to a site (ANY site) can infect your computer.
- Backups are your best friends.
- Virtual Machines are an acceptable way to have an affair (and get infected) behind your computer’s back.” (I think he means “an acceptable way to experiment with potentially malicious sites and files.”)

Top10 Tips To secure internet Use
1. Make sure your computer has a firewall.
Most computers come with a firewall installed. You should customize the privacy
settings, before you start browsing the internet using a new computer. If you have
several computers in your home, you can protect them all using a router with a firewall
installed. Some homeowners find that a secure router is more convenient. Firewalls help
prevent hackers from accessing the information stored in your computer’s memory.

2. Install an anti-virus software program.
Anti-virus software protects against viruses. Viruses are basically a kind of vandalism.
They serve no real purpose. The codes for many viruses are written by practical
jokesters. Once your computer is “infected”, everything seems to slow down.
Other programs may act strangely. Eventually, your system may crash all together.

4. Regularly upgrade the security features of your operating system.
Depending on the type of operating system that you have and the type of web browser
you use, you may receive notifications when upgrades or updates are available. You
should choose the “install now” option. The programs are upgraded regularly, because
hackers are constantly changing the ways they operate. You have to change, too.

These internet safety rules can help you avoid a lot of the common issues people get.
5. Regularly upgrade all of the security software programs.
Programs are available to automatically upgrade or update, whenever a new patch or anti-
virus becomes available. If you don’t have an automatic version, you will need to install
the upgrades yourself. Hopefully, the system will notify you when one is available.

6. Choose good passwords and keep them in secure locations.
This might be number six, but it is one of the most important of the top 10 ways to
keep your computer safe online. Hackers have to figure out your passwords in order to
gain access to your system. There are cheap programs that allow them to do that. One
program tries every word in the dictionary.

A robber could enter your home and transfer money from your bank account or steal your
personal information, if they can find your passwords. Either keep your passwords on
your person at all times or store them in a locking box or safe.

Use different passwords for different websites. This will help limit the amount of
information stolen in case you are hacked. You can easily pick the first half of any name
and append a special number to the end to create passwords on the fly that you can recall
easily. Never use your debit pin number for anything online though.

Of all these internet safety rules this one is really important.
Passwords should be 8-10 characters long. Numbers and/or symbols should be included
along with lower case and upper case letters. Don’t use your kid’s names or anything
else that would be easy for a thief to figure out.

Change your passwords every three to six months just to be safe. You can use a
password auto-generator if you can’t come up with unique, difficult to crack passwords
on your own.

7. Invest in an external hard drive just in case.
No matter how good your security system or how unusual your passwords, no system
can be 100% safe. That’s why you need a backup system. You could store important
information on removable discs, but storing those discs becomes a problem. An
external hard drive is a good solution. It is not connected to the internet, can be
stored in a safe location and should have enough memory to serve all of your needs.

File sharing can be tempting. Other internet users offer free software programs and other
downloads. But the files can easily contain viruses or spyware. Just think twice before
you accept these offers.

10. Read their privacy policies before dealing online.
Although some scammers have become quite good at forging security icons, they usually
lack a page confirming their privacy policy. There may also be some differences in the
appearance of the icon, which usually resembles a shield.

In addition, you can look at the website address. Website addresses of non-secure sites
begin with “http”. As with most internet safety rules, this one is important too. Secure site
addresses begin with “https”. The “s” stands for secure.

Get Suggestions To Online Fraud: 419 Scam
Internet fraud or cyber crime, specifically the method known as “419 fraud” has taken a lot of victims. Today there is another article in the news about a woman who is so blinded by greed that she ultimately lost $ 400,000 from fraud. She was convinced by fake official documents and she parted away with her savings.
By reading this article, you may know what kind of cyber crime “419 fraud” is (also known as Advance Fee Fraud or advance fraud), and you will certainly not step into the same hole.
Where does the 419 fraud come from?
The name of this fraud method comes from the Nigerian law article 4.1.9. dealing with fraud. It is also named the “Advance Fee Fraud” or advance payment fraud. This form of fraud is mostly committed by West African gangs, which Nigeria is especially known for.
How is the method of the 419-fraud?
They send millions of emails around, hoping that someone would read them. The mails come in different variations, there is a proposal for a business deal or a lottery prize. It may also look as if it was sent by a family. The fraud consists of a promised forthcoming amount of money, but preliminary payments are requested, such as transaction costs.
Danger! Money loss is not the only risk
Do not liaise with these fraudsters! Even if you think it’s just a “game” to play, because you know that it is a fraud, it can be dangerous. A Greek man, George Makronalli (29 years) thought he had a good business deal to close, but was ultimately kidnapped and later murdered by the crooks. If the fraudsters still arouse your interest and you want to test them first look at the link to the source of this article. You can read an example of someone who has also tested the fraudsters. You can use these for consideration.
What are the signs of a 419-fraud?
If you receive e-mails with proposals that seem too good to be true, it is actually a direct indicator light. It could be a response to an ad you clicked somewhere on the internet or an e-mail from someone you do not know with a business proposal. The e-mails are usually written in poor grammar and suggest a sense of urgency in the writing. The e-mail address may be similar to a spam address and Yahoo addresses are mainly in large numbers used for this form of cyber crime. If you recognize any of the above features, remove the mail! If it seems too good to be true, then it is. A scam e-mail may not meet all the above characteristics, because the crooks have various considerations.
When people have agreed to the proposals, they often receive official documents which gives the victim confidence in the counterparty (the scammers). Further analysis of the documents may quickly show that is fake: the lacking of a watermark, signature or official stamp and even a fake check.
CAUTION! If you by this or any other way have ever received a check that you are not familiar with, then go to the bank and ask if the check is real. Do not just check whether you can recover, because then you can be accused of fraud!
