Internet safety should be on the mind of everyone who uses a computer. Computer users are often lured into giving away personal information such as Social Security numbers and sensitive bank account information in Plishing and Pfarming scams. Even if the user does not give out sensitive information, dangerous spyware and computer viruses can be downloaded just by opening e-mails and websites that are unsafe.

Computers are a substantial investment for most consumers, so it is important to protect the equipment from spyware and viruses that can damage the computer and render it unusable. Sensitive financial and personal information that tends to get stored on the computer is even more precious than the equipment itself. Do not give away sensitive to unknown people and websites, no matter how compelling the reasons to do so may seem.
