I have that ????????platt-warrior wrote:May i advise you download Trusteer Endpoint Protection its free and goes along way to protect your online banking.
Thanks for the mention as I was only trying to advise in the hope that it would help people understand how we now live in a world of fraud.Wigan_forever1985 wrote:To be honest there are a lot of helpful tips to keep safe online that even people who are more tech savvy dont know about.
if i had to give my top 5 they would be:
1) Make sure that any website you are putting card details in starts with https:// not http:// in newer browsers this can be easily seen by a green either background or section of the address bar
2) Up to date antivirus, sounds simple but many forget to update theirs, remember there are free solutions such as avast and avg if you cant afford to pay for one.
3) dont install google toolbars or any other toolbars and make sure that extensions and toolbars havent been installed without your knowledge. Most of these arent malicious but they will slow down your computer and are a pain, if you notice words on a website become underlined and when you hover over they show product info chances are your browser has had a piece of software installed on it
4) Always go to source - WW is on the right to a certain extent, companies DO send out emails sometimes to alert of suspicious activity on your account, however the key difference is they will ask you to log in through their website not through a link in the email. When in dont go to source, so if you get an email from Natwest and you bank with them, ring your branch or log in through their website to confirm, i used to do the same if i got a phone call from the bank i would ask of its importance and if they said it was important i would hang up and ring the bank back. If in doubt go to the source of the info and dont click on links within emails (that goes from ones from friends to) unless you are expecting them or have verified their authenticity.
5) Last but not least - make sure you have a strong password on your wireless, i urge you to change it from the one that it came with if you havent and if you havent got a password get one on there straight away!. Again make it long and complex to ensure it cant be hacked, remember you are responsible for what goes on, on your internet.
If anyone has any problems or questions feel free to PM me i might not be able to get back to you straight away but i will eventually ive worked in i.t for 10 years so theres not much i havent seen
Can you use that dedicated to online banking protection PW? I have kaspersky on my android and was wondering if Trusteer would be of benefit.platt-warrior wrote:May i advise you download Trusteer Endpoint Protection its free and goes along way to protect your online banking.
