Some more practical tips
It's very important to learn the basic rules of working online, find out what kind of actions can get you into an unwanted situation, and to the contrary, which of them are safe. You should be aware of the potential bad consequences of your actions.
Protect yourself! Every computer that you use for surfing and similar activities must have a program to identify and destroy viruses that could be destructive to your computer and data stored on it. Nowadays, there are various affordable programs available (most of them are even free).
Types of programs which can protect your computer from "being crashed" are called "firewalls" and they prevent your computer from being accessed by someone else from his/her computer and thus potentially making some damage.
Antivirus programs will protect your computer against dangerous (virus-infected) programs that may be on your computer. When choosing an antivirus program, you need to be careful. There are antivirus packages that can be purchased (Nod32, Kaspersky) and those that can be downloaded free of charge from the Internet (AVG, Avast). You need to be careful because they are not all genuine antivirus programs in spite of being called so. Once you have explored the credibility of this program, and seen how reliable and safe it is, you are ready to download it.
In some cases, the Internet search engine needs a "Spyware" program which monitors the way you use your computer, in order to use your data for commercial purposes. These programs do not slow down your computer, delete or modify data, but they do spy on you. The antivirus cannot usually help eliminate "spyware" (already viruses), and for this purpose you should use antispyware programs such as Adaware, Spybot Search & Destroy etc.
Carefully choose which sites you visit, while surfing the net. There are dangerous websites which can easily infect your computer with a virus; or just by visiting them you can put yourself in an unpleasant situation. These are mostly porn sites and the ones with suspicious contents, such as hacker, piracy and similar webites.
Keep your email under control. Via e-mail you can receive various viruses and contents that can be harmful for your computer. If you do not know the sender or its subject is not clearly stated or it is maybe a spam (unwanted advertisement), do not open it because it may contain a virus that could infect your computer. The same applies to e-mails with an attachment, if you do not know its sender and the content, it is highly recommended to delete that e-mail. Deleting such e-mails is the only right action which can prevent unwanted consequences. Any way of responding to such an email will only worsen the situation.
