• Be extremely careful about how you share personal information about yourself online. 

• Be extremely cautious about meeting online acquaintances in person. If you choose to meet, do so in a public place and take along a friend.

• Save all communications for evidence. Do not delete or alter them in any way.

• Never forget to sign out of your email or any other accounts.

• Never reveal your personal information to any stranger in online chatting.

• Never make online transactions in unsecured sites. Watch for 'https' in the address bar.

• Never follow links to your banking website from another website or e-mail, type it yourself in the address bar.

• Never open spam mails as they contain either virus or spyware. Enable spam filters in your mail boxes.

• Never post sensitive information in social networking and marriage sites.

Suggestions for better security:

• Use strong passwords. Choose passwords that are difficult or impossible to guess. Give different passwords to all other accounts. 

• Make regular back-up of critical data. Back-up must be made atleast once in each day. Larger organizations should perform a full back-up weekly and incremental back-up every day. Atleast once in a month the back-up media should be verified.

• Use Antivirus software and update regularly. 

• Use a firewall. Firewalls are usually software products. They are essential for those who keep their computers online through the popular Broadband and cable modem connections. 

• Do not keep computers online when not in use. Either shut them off or physically disconnect them from Internet connection. 

• Do not open e-mail attachments from strangers, regardless of how enticing the subject line or attachment may be. Be suspicious of any unexpected e-mail attachment from someone you do know because it may have been sent without that person’s knowledge from an infected machine. Regularly download security patches from your software vendors.

Remember that people online may not be who they seem to be.

Parents:

Use content filtering software's on your PC to protect children from pornography, gambling, hate speech, drugs and alcohol. There is also software to establish time controls for individual users (for example blocking usage after a particular time at night) and log surfing activities allowing parents to see which site the child has visited. Use this software to keep track of the activities of your children.
