Use the best anti virus out there that is available. Two of the best free ones are Avast and AVG. I personally use both, if one missed something the other one will catch it.
2.Update Your Anti-Virus
You can have the most amazing, easy to use, catch any Trojan anti-virus software out there. The only thing that renders your anti-virus useless is an anti-virus that is not up to date.. Everyday there are new threats and new dangers to our PC's. So keeping your anti-virus up to date is a good thing.
3. Suspicious Emails and Link's
One of the trickiest a scariest tactics for sucking in people and stealing peoples information is Phishing. The email that is sent to us looks legit. It is filled with accurate information with nice forms, once you fill out the information and click send your done.. Don't do it..
4. Nothing is Free!!!!
Free credit score, free ringtones, free ebooks, free all inclusive vacation packages. Hey, guess what your the 1 millionth person to visit this site you have just won a free IPhone!! Its all garbage, stay away and do not click...

5. Update Your Browser
Right now I just updated to Firefox and have been enjoying it.. But from what I've read Google Chrome seems to be the safest Browser to help defend against hackers.. I personally just do not like the look of Google Chrome, but hey I think safety is more important than looks..

6.If You Do Not Know Where the E-mail Came From Don't Open it Or its Attachments.
When in doubt...Through it out. Do not open any email that looks suspicious. Even if it seems that its came from a friends email address!

If you are not sure. Send the person you know a text asking them if they sent you an email. Do a virus scan on the email if you are able to.. Do not open the attachment sent to you. If a friend has sent you an email with an attachment, save it to your desktop then do a anti-virus scan and a malware scan on the attachment
7. Protect your Passwords
This truly is a no brainier, under no circumstance should you EVER give out your passwords to anyone. Not on twitter, Facebook, or any forum that you are involved with..

8. Keep Your Private Information, PRIVATE..
The less that people know about you the better.. Never DM, PM or broadcast your email or phone number on public forums, Facebook and twitter.. If you do you best be prepared for a barrage of spam email and telemarketers trying to sell you everything in the book..

9. Separate important passwords from non important passwords
Separate important passwords from non important passwords..NEVER use your password for your banking on chat forums keep them separate.. example your banking password is blogger do not use blogger password on websites like Twitter, Facebook or forums also be careful not to do the same for sites that you purchase things like on eBay and Go daddy.. These sites require credit card information and PayPal information.

10. Never Use Your Real Name As Your Username
The reasons are simple.. If you ever find yourself in a forum where debates are raging and you go over the line and insult someone. That person just may be able to track you down if you have on your profile your age, date of birth, and location. These little snips of information just may be enough for him or her to find you and confront you face to face. Not just that it would be great for those who would love to steal your identity..
Well there you have it I hope these help you. If you have more or better suggestions let me know and I will add them to the list..
Until next time, Yogetthehelpyouneed..
