No one is safe from all the dangers online. We are all at risk. The only thing we all can do is keep our software up to date with lates versions and keep the data base up to date. We have to make sure that all programs to fight off these things will over everything. I do feel safe but I know that there is always a risk and any time.

Yeah, your husband got the point for suggesting you that. But as long as you have an updated anti virus, firewall and cookie cleaner. Also have unique password for your log in you don't have to worry too much about your online activities

Yes, just dont go to those site might contain anti virus such as adult site, and use firefox as your browser (more secure compare to IE). Besides, you must have anti-virus software and need to ensure it is up to date. And finally, dont share password on those important account, those important account shall have individual strong password

Currently, I feel secure because I only visit a couple of times a day and they haven't infected my computer yet. I also feel safe with Mozilla Firefox.
