How to be safe on the internet during the coronavirus quarantine

By Jumble | Jumble | 30 Apr 2020


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:

  1. Remove from your computer, tablet, mobile phone, etc. all programs or apps that you did not download.
  2. Remove all programs or apps that you do not use frequently.
  3. Do a check of the privacy settings on all programs or apps that use the internet.
  4. Use a VPN when you connect to the internet.
  5. Use the private browsing feature in your web browser.
  6. Add a program, app, or browser extension to block ads and to stop ad tracking.
