Use the latest version of the operating system, web browsers and e-mail programs.
Don’t open e-mail attachments unless you know the source. Attachments, especially executables (those having .exe extension) can be dangerous.
Confirm the site you are doing business with. Secure yourself against "Web-Spoofing". Do not go to websites from email links.
Create passwords containing atleast 8 digits. They should not be dictionary words. They should combine upper and lower case characters.
Use different passwords for different websites.
Send credit card information only to secure sites.
Use a security program that gives you control over "Cookies" that send information back to websites. Letting all cookies in without monitoring them could be risky.
