A lot of people have trouble staying secure online. I think that people depend too much on AV software that they end up forgetting about other ways of protecting their data or online accounts.
1.AV software - AV software can be good but if you depend on them too much you'll regret it since AV software doesn't offer protection against every type of security threat.
2. Passwords - Use passwords which contain letters, capital letters and numbers. While doing that make sure you write it down so you don't forget. Try and keep the password completly random so it makes it harder for people to guess.
3. Security questions - Sometimes you end up forgetting your password, these secuity questions can stop people other than you from gaining access to change the password. Make these secuirty questions personal so that you alone know the answer.
4. Never store passwords on publc computers - At school or college or other public place make sure you don't store any passwords or other login information as anyone could gain access to it. If need be carry a portable browser with you but make sure you don't save any passwords.
5. Never puchase online at public places - Like I said above people can easily use this to obtain your bank account information and then commit fraud with that.
So there was some tips for staying secure online I hope these tips helped you.
