Are You Secure Using Your Browser?

Security is a big issue when it comes to the Internet. With so many spyware and malware threats that can attack our computer at any time, it is important to have good protection and have your browser updated. Many PC users have not had their PC infected for many years. That is usually because they took some precautions. Personally, I make sure that I have an up-to-date Firewall that works perfectly well, in order to block any unauthorized access. I also make sure that I am using a safe browser such as Firefox.

Many believe that Firefox users are the safest users on the Internet when it comes to spyware and malware threats. I am glad that this is the case. Firefox with proper plugins installed by default blocks all scripts of new pages that a user encounters for the first time. If a user wants to allow scripts, he can simply press a button. On the other hand, a user will probably not allow scripts of websites that he does not trust yet.

I also want to say that staying up to date when it comes to your browser updates will minimize the risk of your computer being infected. You may also want to get familiar with any changes that the updates bring to your browser in order to understand whether they affect your security.
