BENT1G3 E-COMMERCE WORLD

We are using computer everyday. Computer become one important "part" in our daily life. As internet become important path for us to connect with the world, it provides us many convenient ways or steps to do our daily activities through internet such as pay bills, buy computers, exchanges information. Therefore, we need to know how to protect our personal data such as personal ID number, cellphone number and address. There same to our financial data which is most important to us, for instance, credit card pin number, online banking username and password. If these data stolen by others people, they might use it to do crime or even transfer all the money in our account.

So, it is critical to safeguard our personal data as well as financial data. Here are some ways to cope with these problems:

Don't keep personal and financial data in computer. There is no way for virus or spyware to steal our data if we are not keeping data in computer. This is the simplest way to protect data. We might just buy a RM20 pendrive to store all data inside and keep it in safe place. Just plug in the pendrive when we need to use the data. Click to buy pendrive.

Avoid save info in shopping sites. We often shop online and buy stuff online. Usually, the shopping site required us to key in credit card info in order to finish the transaction. We should not save the credit card info although the site provides save info service. There is a risk when the shopping site database hacked by hacker, our data will be gone. Therefore, we need to avoid to save data in shopping sites.

Always clear the cache file after suft the internet. We should always clear the cache file in order to prevent the virus or worm programmes that hide in cache files. Moreover, if our computer being hacker by hacher, they can read our cache files or even retrieve datas from cache file because the websites we surfed often leave some cookies or path in cache file folder. Eg INTERNET ERASER.

Make sure antivirus program is functioning well. we need to set the antivirus program to auto update in order to prevent the entry of new virus in our computer. Some antivirus program can filter the webpage and enable time to time scanning to prevent virus, worm and trojan horse. There are several antivirus programs such as AVG, Avira and Avast. I prefer Avast because it is free and provide a good service too. Here is AVAST.

Use https url site instead of http. We may choose to carry out our transaction with the page starts with https. The page with https such as Amazon.com is more secure because the data transfer is encrypted and no ways for others people to read the data before decrypt it. it is safer to use https page to make transaction. Example of https page.
