Further, if you are not able to determine the significance of a specific email based on its subject line, you can always leave it on your inbox to read later. Let the email remain unread till you finish replying to the important and relevant emails.

The abundant popularity of Facebook can be attributed to its ease of use and its ability to collaborate many protocols of social media integrated in to a single platform. Although it has a wide array of usages and application, yet Facebook possesses some potential security threats. These threats may look minor to us but may bring a lot of damage to our online reputation. A few tips below shall teach you how to stay safe on Facebook.

  1. Never attend to anything that looks suspicious. Often hackers give malicious links that can cause much harm to your profile. These links are often shown as links that are not subjected under the guidelines of Facebook privacy policy. Therefore never click on any link or provide your personal information on such hyperlinks.
  2. Often you will come across some strange friends that constantly post link to malicious sites on your wall. It is better to have them removed from the friend list.
  3. If you come across a stranger who is constantly asking for personal details on chat, then immediately go offline. Never chat with suspicious strangers. They might be hackers with honeypots waiting to trap any people who fall in their words.
  4. Check for your password strength. Do not keep easy to remember passwords or which can be guessed easily by friends. The best method is to constantly change the password at regular intervals. Another great way to keep the passwords at bay is to apply randomly generated passwords. Often the hackers use brute force to break down the passwords. This can be eliminated by keeping a long password which can be a mixture of letters, numerals and special characters.
  5. Be careful of the third party applications that ask for permission to access your account. Many of these third party applications may contain mischievous codes that break down your security protocol and hack the accounts of the users are linked with your profile.
  6. It is a safe practice not to display your year of birth in your profile. If you want people to know about your birthday then the best way is to display only your date and month of birth. You can edit these through your profile settings.
  7. There are a few things that are always meant to be purely personal. Displaying them on your wall may bring defamation. Therefore it’s important that you do not combine drinking and Facebook.
  8. Using Facebook from the mobile device might be handy but they possess potential security threats too. Applications that access Facebook from mobile do not have proper encryption of the password and sometimes these details may be visible to the third party.
  9. Avoid giving your cellphone number directly on Facebook.
  10. Never activate the “remember me” feature if you are logging in to Facebook through any PC at net café.

These things if kept in mind can keep you safe and your Facebook to remain unadulterated.

When multiple users are using a single system, then there are chances of invasion of privacy as well as security. So you have to devise a plan, which will keep each member’s private and personal data inaccessible from other members and simultaneously protect your overall system from various virus attacks and malicious software outbreaks. While making the plan, you have to ensure that you are not making compromises either on privacy or on the security.

Instructions

  1. The simplest way to family-proof your PC is to create multiple accounts with different privileges. You can create an individual account for each member of your family and set specific rights for them to access and download specific programs and applications. The rights of an uber-administrator should remain with you and using this right you can set use rights for different user accounts created for other family members. Also, set each user id with a separate password and reveal it to the member who is going to use the particular account. This will allow some bit of privacy among the members and also allow them to store their confidential and private data in a folder which cannot be accessed by outsiders or other family members.
  2. When so many people are accessing internet from a single PC, the chances are higher that some virus or other may attack your system on a recurring basis. So always safeguard the security of your family members’ data with premium anti-virus software. Along with the software install few related applications like freeware firewall, spyware scanner and encryption. You can initially download and test the effectiveness of the free trial version of the anti-virus software released by different companies and the upgrade the same to a premium version based on its success rate in protecting your PC from different viruses and malicious software outbreaks. As all your family members store and access their data through a single PC, it becomes more important to protect the data and system from frequent virus attacks.
  3. The antivirus software will help in protecting your system from fresh virus attacks, but you have to activate the options which will show whether the content stored on a website is safe or not. You can scan the search results using a software and click on the safe site based on its safety ratings and reasons. Some search result pages through Google and Yahoo show an icon which indicates whether the site is safe for viewing or not. Share the information will all other family members and advise them to access the particular site only after checking the safety rating of its contents.
  4. Always upgrade your browser to the latest version released by its maker as the upgradations often include better security measures among other enhanced features. Also, avoid using the most popular browser as it is more prone to virus attack due to its wide spread usage.
  5. As per the old proverb “prevention is better than cure”, keep reminding the family members who use the same PC to stick to the basic security parameters while downloading and storing data from internet. If they exercise a little bit of caution while using the system, it will save you from spending hours in checking and rectifying the mess created by them. Train others about the security measures and ensure that everyone accessing your PC must make the precautions and secure guidelines a regular habit whenever they are using the system.
