How to Protect Your Privacy on Computer?

Thought your computer is safe with latest antivirus and anti-malware sogtware? This is totally wrong. Antivirus and Anti-Malware software can only protect your computer system from being damaged, and block some attacks from hijackers. But how about security of your privacy? Browsers and websites will always remember and collect your browse history to analyse, so to promote specific advertisement in your browse page. And how do you keep your online search history from being found by people who use your computer? You have to learn how to protect your privacy on computer.

 

First, clean your browsing history, caches, passwords and cookies , etc. after you exist your browser.

Browsers always offer such options for users to choose. But not many people notice it. Some people will think that it does not matter leaving such files in computer because they think privacy is something more serious, and if they don’t browse any illegal websites, they don’t have to do the cleaning. Later they will find that the advertisements and spam mails come in pile. Trust me, internet is much more complicated than you thought it was.

 

To clean browser, you will have to do the following setting:

 

For IE, go to upper menu bar, click tools, internet option, you will open the internet option setting page. Check the box to clean your browsing history when exiting IE.

For other browser, go to upper menu bar, click tools, choose browser setting/option, then find privacy option, you can set the setting for remembering history or not.

 

Second, use different passwords for different accounts.

It is never wise to use same passwords for all accounts. Internet is never safe enough for one to do that. If you can risk the chance to lose all accounts with one account being stolen, please ignore this paragraph. If you want to keep your accounts safe, remember to set different passwords for each account. You can use a paper to write down your passwords and save it in a safe place in your house. Your house is much more safer than internet.

 

Third, use a system protector to keep your privacy safe and clean the unsafe files from your computer.

It will detect and clean the unsafe files for you, and protect any malware or virus to steal your information.
