The home users key asset is their personal information, and this should be zealously guarded. When surfing the web, installing a program or chatting in a chat room always be skeptical. By creating online profiles and storing your personal information on your computer you eliminate one of the original security features of the Internet, anonymity. Companies such as ZeroKnowledge make privacy solutions that can help preserve your personal information, and protect you from webpages and applications that attempt to remove your personal information from your computer without your consent. Choose strong passwords.
Passwords are a broken security scheme.
They are clumsy, relatively easy to crack, and the better a password the harder it is to remember. Passwords should be at least eight characters long and contain letters, number and special characters. When creating a password never base it on a word found in the dictionary. Try to make it as random as possible. One approach that works well is to think of a sentence that you will never forget.
