The malware had doubled in 2009. Spam and phishing are just one example of techniques used by fraudsters to obtain personal information. In 2009, 78% of malware have been distributed primarily through the Internet, followed by e-mail with 17% (via attachments or phishing), and finally 5% by other media (readers USB …). To avoid some disappointments, I’ve gathered 10 tips for safe surfing on the Internet …

• Avoid incidents clicking too fast: Use caution before following a link.
• Take the time to open an e-mail: the post title says usually long. Use a good email service with good spam filter that perfectly emails. Gmail is ruthless in this race.
• Beware of phishing attempts to capture your credit card information that users of eBay and Amazon were among the most frequent targets.
• If you donate, be sure to know and fully understand the cause of the ONG: avoid making hasty decisions after reading a message or visit a website. Take time to explore and discuss on Twitter, Facebook or your friends.
• Beware of dubious sites and compare prices: it’s recommended to Googling for a site’s reliability.
• Install safe software: If you are looking for a specific software, start by looking on trusted sites by Googling.
• Activate your online protection: update your security software (Antivirus, Windows …).
• Install a firewall: it checks the port input / output of your computer and block any unwanted access. Zone Alarm is free and certainly the best known.
• Social networks will become an important target in the months ahead: Be careful not to divulge too much about yourself or your privacy.
• Choose strong passwords: opt for anything that is commensurate with yourself.

I would add one last thing that is certainly the most important point of this list:
Do not trust anyone, you never know who is hiding behind a screen.

And you, what protection do you adopt to avoid all kinds of scams?
