Safely browsing the Internet

Hello, This post is about safely browsing the Internet.
We all use the internet for searching some info, social networking , emails ,games ,business ,banking and lot  more stuff.Most of these require a valid email id and sometimes you need to enter your personal details like name,address,number,passwords etc.So make sure you are smart when it comes to browsing and save your  info like email/password from getting into wrong hands.


1st step of Secure Browsing :
See where you are and what you enter.
Always ensure you enter your details/password/email at a genuine site.
For example : suppose you want to log into Facebook then make sure you are on the Facebook login page and not some other website with similar name or similar color/layout.
There have been cases earlier of people entering details on duplicate(fake) websites and then losing data.

2nd step : Whenever logging into your email accounts/ social networking site ensure the " HTTPS " in the address bar of the browser.
Example:
https://signup.live.com , https://www.facebook.com , https://mail.google.com



See the image of Paypal website above !!

Sometimes you can see the lock also indicating its a secured process.You'll see the lock along with the HTTPS  before the web address if you are using browsers like Internet explorer,Firefox,Google Chrome for secure transactions like signing into accounts or online banking.

If you are not using https then your account is vunerable to threats from virus/hacker.
Usual browsing like Googling or downloading stuff wont require HTTPS.


Note: Using HTTPS may slow the signing in process for a while.


3rd Step:


Never save the password on Public computer or cybercafe.
Most of the web browsers now offer to save email id and password when you login.
So DO NOT SAVE THE PASSWORD or Email ID !!!


Browser will pop up a message asking whether you want to save the password,so please select " No " or other negative option given.
Look at the image you'll understand what i mean to say.







Finally, Make sure you have a updated Antivirus,a good OS and proper internet connectivity for efficient surfing.
