Protect Your Information Online
We are in the information age and it has both positive and negatives. What did we ever do without computers? Almost every company has either moved or is moving their business transactions online. That means you have to divulge personal information in some cases when you want to do business with a particular company. If that is the case, you can protect yourself by clearing out your “browser cache.” To do so in Internet Explorer, go to Tools > Options and select “Clear Recent History.” To do so in Mozilla, go to Tools and select “Clear Browsing History” for the last hour. That will clear out any personal information you used like credit cards, social security or phone numbers. It’s important to do this immediately after you have finished completing a web form because the computer will hold that information in memory until you erase it. That’s all for now.
