  TIPS:

• Keep your software up-to-date. Even if your computer comes off the shelf with a level of protection, threats change daily. So it's imperative you keep your software up-to-date or else it's useless.

• Protect your identity online. With more and more of us using the web to bank online and do other sensitive tasks, coming up with solid passwords is more vital than ever.

• Don't use the same login for lots of sites. If one falls into the wrong hands, your whole online life is up for grabs. Try picking one and add a few letters related specifically to each site you're logging into.ssing it. At the very least, disconnect your broadband when you're not online.

• Switch off your computer after browsing. While your PC's on, and after you've been browsing, is a prime time for malware (malicious software) attacks. So switching it off is a good preventative measure. 

• Don't open unknown email attachments. Most web crime still happens via email, so be on guard when checking yours. Don't open. Switching your computer off when you aren't using it doesn't just save energy, it stops others access in any attachments you're not expecting, or click any random links you find in the text. If you're unsure if a site's legit, whack the name into Google and see what comes up. It may be listed as a bad 'un.

• Only download software from trusted websites.
