Not one web application technology has shown itself invulnerable to the inevitable discovery of vulnerabilities that affect its owners' and users' security and privacy. The ubiquity of web applications is not always apparent to the everyday web user. With the increasing concern around security, questions continue to be raised about whether there is adequate protection for the ever increasing array of sensitive data migrating its
way to the web.
So it's always suggested to enable the firewall and install antivirus programs in your system to combat these problems or better, opt to install total internet security tools (such as Mcafee, Norton 360, Kaspersky) to secure your system from Identity Theft, Spam & Online Scam Prevention. Also make sure to receive the latest software features, threat updates and version upgrades too.
Moreover, if you're using IE as your browser, switch immediately to FireFox browser (www.mozilla.com/firefox/) which provides you the more secure, and fully customizable way to surf the web. IE users were vulnerable to online threats 78% of the time. Firefox users? Only 2% (as per the stats report). Firefox keeps your personal info personal and your online interests away from the bad guys.
