Question

What are the dos and donts of the internet? I will mark the most understandable answer as the brainliest

Answer 1

Answer:

Dos-

Use anti-virus software and make sure to renew regularly.

Choose strong passwords.

Keep personal information limited. Both marketers and hackers are looking for information about you based on your browsing history and social networks.

Stay away from shady websites and “click bait”. “Click bait” is the term used for an online advertisement that has lurid content or text that’s meant to grab attention, and be clicked.

Make sure your Internet connection is secure.

Don’ts-

Don’t let web browsers remember your username and password.

Don’t click on any email you don’t recognize. Even if you do recognize the sender’s email address and see the email contains a link or attachment, call the sender. Verify the email was actually sent by the organization or individual since email addresses can be spoofed or an email account hacked.

Don’t give anyone remote access to your computer. There are many scams online that may seem like legitimate warnings, but are instead criminals impersonating technicians from major companies such as Microsoft, Apple, Dell, or even Geek Squad.

Don’t click on the first search result in Google. “Googling” a subject can bring back many search results, including paid advertisements that may have nothing to do with what you searched, or worse, a fake advertisement that could lead you to a malicious website. Try to avoid the green advertisements at the top of the page and scroll down to find familiar, trusted websites.

Don’t download illicit or unknown software. While you may be tempted to download the “free” version of software, which is commonly pirated, don’t! Downloading this kind of software from shady or spoofed websites can put your computer and data at risk of infection from a virus or even ransomware.
