Parents and children must be sure that you check the URL, Web address in the browser to ensure that they are on an authentic place. Carefully with computer activity, and never click on links that are sent in unsolicited e-Mails.
Make sure that you always work with anti-spyware, anti-virus software and firewalls. Protect your password and try to choose something that would be difficult to crack.
If you ever need to discard your computer, make sure use a professional file deletion program to ensure that there is no old data on your hard disk.
