There are many websites on the internet that are there to do harm to your computer/ laptop. These websites can infiltrate some nasty adware, malware and trojans viruses into your computer/ laptop. It is recommended that you install some very cool plugins on your browsers apart from the already installed anti virus, security software and firewall in your computer / laptop.

Here are a some links to websites that provide information in regards to e-mails, shopping online and websites. This is very important as many keep falling for hoax e-mail and reveal very sensitive data and purchase products that don’t exist. Remember the GOLDEN RULE if it is too good to be true chances are that it is a hoax, fraud and a lie.
