None of this, however, comes with a guarantee. What follows are a few tips to consider before and while using the Web to do business. Use Secure Technology.

Connect to Correct Web Address. Verify that you are connected to the Web site of the business to which you intend to send private information. Examine the address you think you should be connected to and if it looks questionable, investigate further. Use an Encrypted Session.
