Where Do You Go When You Surf The Internet?
There are a lot of dangerous places on the Internet. You know — sites you wouldn’t want your children to see, sites that download malware on to your computer, sites that can take over your computer without your knowledge, etc.
Here’s a simple trick to help prevent your computer from becoming infected and to better protect it: don’t visit web sites that you don’t know and trust. Sometimes it’s easy to tell if the site is OK; other times it won’t be as obvious. In either case, you can look to see if others trust it (links from other sites are a good indication, and Google can tell you how many sites link to a website). You can also see if there are any bad comments about the site.
And finally, trust your instincts. They usually won’t lead you wrong.
Stay safe,
Tom
