5 Tips for Safe Online Shopping for 2010
The concept of online shopping has posed a more convenient way of buying for the things we love without being hassled of leaving our homes. In fact, we get to enjoy a lot more when it comes to discounts and sales online. However, through time, the threat and risks of invasion of private information of individuals have been constant issues that every online shopper deals with. Here are five tips for a much safer online shopping experience especially during the peak of the holiday season.
1. Look for the Lock. It is a lot safer when you shop with the url of the site you prefer that starts with ‘https’ instead of the just the usual ‘http’.
2. Check Statements. When you do online shopping, you would usually pay more using your credit card instead of the other available methods such as Paypal. Once your balance statements arrive, you must take the time to double check if they have credited the right purchases.
3. Inoculate Your PC. Install all protective software that would protect your computer from various viruses and malwares. Such are the tools being used by hackers to get others’ private information and bank details.
4. Use Strong Passwords. In fact, do not just use complex types of password that you know only you would know. You must also take the time to change your password on a regular basis.
5. Privatize Your Wi-Fi. If you are running your computer under a wi-fi connection, make sure that you protect it with a tough passkey so that not anyone in your neighborhood would be able to ride your connection.

Safe in the Harbour $15.27 I love this CD. It combines some well-known modern folk classics with tracks I never heard before, and a singer with a lovely, strong voice (reminiscent of Liam Clancy’s) and minimal instrumentation performs them. Most of the tracks are re-mastered from a cassette recording of the late 1980s but this probably adds and authenticity to the songs. “The Mary Ellen Carter,” written by Stan Rogers, open… |
