Here you will get all the instructions about how to protect your Internet Privacy. As everyone uses the internet on a daily basis so your data needs protection from antivirus software. You need to secure your personal information from identity thefts, create a strong social networking site password, and turn off the Global Positioning System when using the internet.
Go through the instructions given below to know how to protect your Internet privacy:
• Using the Antivirus Software
Everyone wants to protect their system data from viruses and malware, but they do not know how to protect internet privacy. Once you download the Antivirus Software, you do not need any internet connection to use it.
If you are worried about the privacy of your social media password, then you should download any antivirus software. After downloading it, this software does not let the users install infected files in their system. There are many damaging websites which can harm your system from viruses and that is why your system needed an antivirus software.
This antivirus software is essential to use on your system so that it can protect your system data from thefts.
• Protecting Yourself from Identity Theft
Identity thieves steal all your personal details and make new social media account, file income tax returns in your name, and purchase any property, or any other things.
They can also steal your credit or debit card details when you do the online transaction or purchase any product from the shopping websites. You should not save your card details for future use in shopping websites while purchasing any product.
The personal details like your postal code, current address, father or mother name or credit or debit card information: all this data can be stolen through any method whether online or by giving personal details in any place.
• Secure Your Password
Try to change your password every month so that nobody gets to know your password and the password in all social networking sites should not be the same as it is easily guessable to everyone.
Create a strong password by adding number, letters and special characters in it. You should not use the date of the birth, mother or father name, your name in your account password because there is a possibility that anyone can misuse your account.
While logging the account on your default browser, click on the option “Do not remember” so that the password does not get saved on your default browser.
• Disable Your Global Positioning System
Disable your Global Positioning System by going to the settings app on your phone so that you can maintain privacy when you are working on an internet browser. If you disable the Global Positioning System, then the entire app which is installed on your phone will not get to know your current location.
There are social networking apps on your phone which uploads the current location while posting a picture on your account.
• Do Not Forget to Sign Out
When you are logging to your social networking account, you should not forget to sign out from the account after using it. The sites you are signed into can steal all your information from your account.
You must log out from the websites which allow you to add money on your account or help you transfer that money to another account.
