A agree with your valuable and most helpful tips. In more change all your computer password weekly. If you have best antivirus with best protection then you have no need to get any tension.

The best way to avoid online thieves is to install a good security softwares in your system such as firewall protection and antivirus program. And from my personal experience, Norton antivirus is the best one.

Always keep your security software updates. Open firewall install anti virus and anti-spy ware technology and equipment to your computer. All of these software programs to ensure the continuous updates, including your operating system.

Good suggestions. Or you can just follow one simple direction: browse smart.
If you have to install one security software, then choose one with HIPS function, it will deliver you more powerful protections. I installed NOD32 as the first layer, and Anvi Smart Defender as the second security layer. My computer is unbeatable. ^^
