S II, Internet Security II


The second section of tips about internet safety, for first part go to I.S.I
  • This tip is most likely familiar,how ever is important to review, when you see an ad that ells you "you've won something huge! 1000th visitor!!!",  yea it's probably a scam. Never fill out your information about the sites you don't know; remember 'is it too good to be free?'
  • Use ad-block software when interfering with unknown sites, especially sites with ads that deliver potentially infected script. They can save you from annoying pop ups, and may protect you from fake link address. However it's not recommenced to use such program regularly for '.com'  websites such as YouTube, if you do they lose money and in long term, their site would not be free anymore.  If you are using chrome go to Google Store and search for your desired program. 
  • And lastly this covers social networking sites; There are lots of spams growing either by "free-ware" or a scare-ware.
    Most of them is like the the fact above, or/and a message from a friend that has an infected browser, which they give you a link that's tempting to click on, most of them will be a harmful cookie installed in your browser, which takes control of your entire social networking account. Always ask them if they sent that link.
