Keep your passwords and security details safe, so no one else can access your online accounts
Secure your personal documents at home, at your work, and when you travel.
Download security updates and patches for the computer programs you use
Update your anti-virus software regularly to protect your computer against attacks from new viruses
Identify and delete hoax emails
Delete spam (emails from a source you don't trust) or check if your Internet service provider offers a spam filtering service
Be careful how much personal information you post or reveal online.
If you use social networking sites, adjust your privacy settings to control the amount and type of information you want to share, so that people you don't know very well can only see certain parts of your profile.
You should also avoid using unsecured Wi-Fi networks for secure transactions, like banking or online shopping.
Order a free copy of your credit report from a credit reporting agency on a regular basis, particularly if your identity has been stolen.
