Tips on safe online shopping this holiday season
1. To protect your computer, make sure to install the recent updates for anti-virus, spam filters, anti-spyware software and secure firewall.
2. Check the trustworthiness of the sites offering bargains, their reputation, and customer satisfaction record.
3. Take time to read Web sites privacy policy to understand what personal information they require from you and how it will be used. If there isn’t any such policy, then there are chances that your personal information could be sold without your permission.
4. Keep all the documentation of your order till you get the goods.
