Can anyone offer any tips on how to keep secure online?

With so many hackers and phishing websites I am worried I will be attacked.

Shut down your computer and then disconnect from the Internet and unplug the computer from the power socket Smiley

LOL haha jonny chill mate Tongue

You can ensure that you have the latest updates for your anti virus software, install a firewall like zonealarm or anything else, get spybot or adware for malware searchs.

Dont open any attachments from people that you dont know.

Come on guys lighten up I was just having a laugh with you Smiley

But it does make sense the best way to keep secure and protected is not to use the Internet and my method above is very effective Cheesy
