Some Basic Tips on How to Safely Browse the Internet

As we know today the internet has not just evolved into something that is really helping hundreds of millions of people in their work and also helping in driving the economy,but to all this there also lies the sectors of internet which can become a nightmare to someone.
Most of the simplest form of these is a virus and malwares.Today these viruses and malwares are spreading at a much higher speed than ever,it is because of higher reach of internet availability and lack on information among the users on how to safely browse the internet.
I have personally been a victim of viruses in my early days when I was learning to use the internet,after which I learnt and found some very basic methods to browse the internet without getting infected.

Being in college I have seen and dealt with a lot of my colleagues bringing their computers to me for repair and treatment of viruses,probably they shouldn't if they just follow some basic instructions on how to browse the internet safely.

The methods that now I'm gonna tell are some very basic things which most people might know but they ignore it and are applicable only to a PC.

1. Install an efficient antivirus with a firewall system

An efficient antivirus will prevent most of the attacks coming in from any rogue websites by filtering them and even preventing access to them.
I would recommend using ESET Smart Security Antivirus,I have been using it since last 7 years and haven't had a virus breach in my system since then.

2. Removing useless toolbars from your browsers

This can be simply done by opening up the control panel,then going to add or remove program

3. Using AdBlock AddOns for your browser(mozilla/chrome)

This is one of the most efficient methods to prevent clicking on any unwanted links which might lead to getting infected by malware or leading to a phishing site which is a replica of a very common known site like facebook but isn't actually related to it,as soon as the link is clicked the user is forwarded to a page leading to that website's fake page where if the user inputs his credentials will lead himself to getting easily hacked and leaking of some every information from the user's system.

To install this very AddOn goto bit.ly/1bia3G6 then click add to chrome

You can see the difference here in the below image

The similar is applicable for mozilla users in the very same way.

4. Always be vary of the link you're clicking on

You must always bring your mouse cursor over the link you want to open and then you can see the full link of the site you will be directed to

Such links as you can see above are to be avoided and doing so will keep your system secured to a great extent.

5. Knowledge of websites

Most people want to download music,softwares and movies.But what most people do wrong is blindly go on browsing the internet and reaching malwares websites in search of finding quick links to download.

I'm going to list some websites that have been deemed to be secure and trustworthy.

Softwares:

softpedia

filehippo

Music and Movies

itunes

hungama

In case of torrent and warez sites(for knowledge purpose only)

thepiratebay

kickass

warez-bb

Downloading from the above sites with care,whatever you are about to download firstly know about them on the internet by googling it down.Most people are scammed by downloading fake downloading which occurs when people upload fake downloadable content loaded with viruses,people out of their curiosity and eagerness to download it and suffer the consequences.

Happy browsing to all,if there is anything you might wanna ask me about or any tutorials then please leave a comment,I'll be happy to help you all.
Thank you.
