Password Privacy Log in Sucurity Lock Guard Concept

It is very important that everybody protect their personal computers from virus attacks. If we don’t do so, we may lose all of our private information. I think having a good antivirus software will be helpful for this problem and in addition you should use the latest version of the antivirus. There are various ways that can help resolve this issue. Firstly, you must change your passwords on a regular basis which should not consist of simple information like your name, birthday and so on. Also it should not be something predictable. I try to limit my usage of public Wi-Fi, so I use it on occasion when necessary. I do not check my email or do online banking on other people’s computers. When using these computers, I try to use a limited amount of my own personal information as I do not find them safe. I don’t believe they are safe because whenever you access any account online, your personal information is vulnerable and can be collected by other people. I think online privacy is only a misconception to alter people’s train of thought for what is actually happening to the information that you provide online. In my opinion we should all refrain from providing our information online, as much as possible.
