We’ve all received emails from our bank stating our account is empty and immediately connect the hyperlink in the email you click on the real side, but the site he made for fraudulent, they are stealing money! Always make sure your banks website has a picture of a padlock on the toolbar, which shows that it is a safe place to log in. If you have any questions contact your bank immediately.
3. We all need a firewall to hide. This is a piece of software that prevents any intrusion into our computers, at home or at work. Once the software is installed is running in the background.
