How to shop safe online:

  1. Make sure you're shopping on a secure site. Look for the padlock icon or a URL that starts with https://. That means your transaction is encrypted.
  2. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. If you're not familiar with a particular seller, look for privacy and security seals or research them before you make your purchase.
  3. Create lengthy and complex passwords. Passwords can be guessed very quickly by hacker programs, so use both upper- and lower case letters as well as numbers when creating passwords or when registering on sites.
  4. Maintain your security software essentials to keep malware off your PC. Save 25% on Ad-Aware and get the power to protect your online security and privacy — so that you can use the Internet how, when, and where you want.
  5. Don't make hasty online purchases. If you're hesitant to enter your credit card details online, consider using a separate credit card, or use an “e-card” solution that gives you the ability to create a temporary card number to be used just once or with a spending limit.
