At this time, most people stay at home because of a mandatory coronavirus quarantine. In most countries, home internet use has increased very much.
Equivalent to “wearing a mask” to stay safe from the virus, it is also important to be safe when on the internet. Follow these six items to be safe:
- Remove from your computer, tablet, mobile phone, etc. all programs or apps that you did not download.
- Remove all programs or apps that you do not use frequently.
- Do a check of the privacy settings on all programs or apps that use the internet.
- Use a VPN when you connect to the internet.
- Use the private browsing feature in your web browser.
- Add a program, app, or browser extension to block ads and to stop ad tracking.
