There are lot of hackers, Spyware & virus are waiting to steal your information and to damage your privacy information. Sometime users lost their information and privacy by them self because they don't have proper knowledge in this matter. All Internet & PC users must follow good practices to secure their information. So I am going to give basic knowledge how to secure your privacy and information while you are using Internet. These are few tips to follow easily;

If you installed a Internet Security software for your PC most of time Firewall also include in that software. That is not enough you must ensure that your security software are up-to-date and they are running properly in your PC. Additionally you should not install any unknown software into your PC without knowing it.
