Tips to save your pc

• Avoid giving out any information about yourself in a chat room.
• Children should never arrange face-to-face meetings or send their photographs online without informing their parents.
• Use the latest anti-virus software, operating systems, Web browsers and email programs.
• Check out the site you are doing business with thoroughly. Send credit card information only to secure sites.
• Use a security program that gives you control over cookies that send information back to Web sites. Letting all cookies in without monitoring them could be risky.
• If you own a Web site, watch traffic and put host-based intrusion detection devices on your servers. Monitor activity and look for any irregularities.
• Put in a firewall and develop your content off line.
• Make sure web servers running your public site are physically separate and individually protected from your internal corporate network.
• Protect your databases. If your Web site serves up dynamic content from a database, consider putting that database behind a second interface on your firewall, with tighter access rules than the interface to your server.
• Back up your Web site after every update, so you can re-launch it immediately in case of a malicious defacement.
