Tips to protect your PC this holiday shopping season

This holiday season Americans will be using their computers more than ever to check deals online and keep in touch with family and friends. Here are a few tips to keeping your PC safe from viruses and spyware this season.

1. Make sure that your PC is up to date with all operating system patches and anti-virus updates. In addition,  programs like Adobe Acrobat Reader and Adobe Flash have periodic security updates that are necessary for protection from spyware and viruses.

2. Never click a link in an email that you are unfamiliar with the sender.

3. When ordering online check and make sure that you see the https:// heading in your web browser. The s at the end of the http means that the site is using encryption between your browser and their server.

Wishing you safe browsing this holiday season!
