Protect Yourself on Cyber Monday...

Cyber Monday the Monday after Thanksgiving, is expected to ring up more than $600 million in sales and attract cybercrooks so here are a few safety tips for us online shoppers:
> Switch your web brouser to Firefox, Safari, or anything besides Microsoft's popular Internet Exployer, which is often in the cross hairs of computer viruses, spyware and adware. You can enhance browser security with add-ons including eBay Toolbar, Google toolbar and NoScript, a Firefox extention. They all help identify phyishing websites.
> Do not click on links in e-mail. E-mail attachments are a breeding ground for viruses. Use unguessable passwords on your Web mail accounts.
> Use a single credit card for online purchases. Limit the damage, in the event someone steals your credit card numbers.
