Is going online safe? Yes it is, but only if you use some safety measures. In most cases, people loose their identity while going online. For registration, they submit their private information to distrustful and spam sites resulting in use of their personal information for spamming and other criminal deeds. So, in this post I’ll discuss on methods to remain safe while going online.

Spam Mails
Never register with a website just because you received an invitation email from it. An e-mail that says you have won a lottery is a spam e-mail. E-mail that says your friend has invited you to join… is also spam e-mail in most cases. It is better not to respond such e-mail.

Registration with personal information
Even though websites ask for genuine personal information during registration, make sure you’re giving your personal information for only those websites which are well reputed and have strong privacy policy. Don’t forget to read privacy policy of a website before submitting your personal information. Never register with a website that reveals your personal information including e-mail address to others without your permission. And most importantly, NEVER USE SAME E-MAIL AND PASSWORD THAT APPLIES FOR YOUR E-MAIL ACCOUNT.

Downloads
I know you’ll not obey me if I say don’t download illegal contents like music, movies, games, software and other files. You know you can find almost all movies, games, software, songs, and lot other from torrents, warez, and file sharing websites like RapidShare, RapidShare and others. How safe are you with such files? I think if you have downloaded such files before, you have an experience of being attacked by malicious spyware, adware, and malware. Never download a file from internet until the website from which you are downloading is as reputed as download.com. Besides, if you can’t stop yourself from downloading, don’t forget to install a best anti-virus program with online protection. ACTUALLY, INSTALLATION OF ANTI-VIRUS PROGRAM IS RECOMMENDED BEFORE BROWSING A WEBSITE.

Be true to yourself
Never spam. Don’t post illegal and copyrighted materials on the web. Never share a file that is owned by others. Don’t use internet for bad, let’s work together to make an internet a best place to surf.
