Today we are familiar with the term cyber crimes. Sometime we may be a victim of the cyber crime. Most of the cyber crimes are done through the internet. The increasing number of cyber crime has made it difficult to use the internet even for browsing. Some countries have banned the sites related to pornography. Most of the servers creates the black list which contains the name of the websites that may harm the users if viewed. Now let us look into how to use internet safely.
Install a software firewall in your system. The firewall allows you to know about the applications that access the internet and allows you to block the applications from accessing the internet. See the figure below.


There may be virus or trojan installed in your computer that access the internet without your knowledge. The firewall shows all the applications connected to the internet and allows you to block or terminate the application.

As you know, the world's most safest browser is Mozilla Firefox 3.5. It is very fast also. Hence it is more recommended to use Firefox browser. The fire fox has a add-on named Website Of Trust (WOT) which shows how safe the website we visited is. So I recommend you to install this add-on. The screen shot is given below:



If you are visiting a site related to finance, it would be better if you use private browsing option in fire fox. To enable private browsing go to tools menu -> start private browsing. During private browsing, no data will be stored other than downloaded files and bookmarks.

Try to avoid storing user name and passwords in browser. Also change the password periodically. This will ensure more security to your account. Also don't forget to sign out or log out after viewing the website. Do not click on the links that you are unsure about the content.

Try to avoid visiting porn sites and sites that provides serials or cracks for the sharewares. Download files from the servers you trust. For searching software, it would be better if you search software in filehippo or CNET or other such trusted sites.

  3. Hi Robert Wisewell,
    as usual Firefox 5 comes with improved features when compared to that of Firefox 4.x. Firefox 5 has increased performance utilizing minimum system resources. It loads 20% faster than its previous edition. It utilizes less RAM than version 4. I believe it is the safest browser available today.
