Quick Guide To A Safe Internet Surfing Without Any Risks Even with the advent of the new powerful OS like Windows Vista and Apple Leopard, people must be very cautious when visiting malicious websites. You could think that only surfing, without downloading or opening suspicious email attachments, would be a safe activity. You are wrong, very wrong. Nowadays the internet criminals have invented all sort of things to try to steal your personal info (credit card details, address, identity) for their illegal activities. So beside using a good antivirus, is always good to follow this guideline: avoid completely visiting unknown or suspicious website, look at Google's advice in search results (they have added a text saying "this website can harm your computer") and add plugins to your browser to block the execution of ActiveX and Javascript elements in the webpages, unless you give them authorization. Another thing to watch for is website that ask for lots of personal information: those are absolutely not required unless you're actually making a purchase. But never enter your real name address, ID, phone number and so on because you expose yourself to the so called "Identity Theft". This means that the criminals can use your personal info to commit fraudolent or illegal act in your behalf, so better be very prudent when a website asks for lot of info without any real reason.
