NavigationOnline protectionProtect your PC to stop criminals unlocking your life. If you're not protected online, you're at risk. Dangers you can encounter online include fraud, viruses, phishing and spam amongst other perils, which can cost you considerable amounts of both time and money - and cause distress to your family. Today we use our PCs to buy groceries, manage our bank accounts, store our holiday snaps, and even to call someone half way around the world. Fraudsters creeping into our PCs can potentially and literally unlock our lives. With many PCs being shared by one household, criminals easily get access to the whole family. According to the latest Yahoo! Security report, 8% of PC users have been targeted by online fraudsters and industry figures show that online banking fraud alone has cost us £12 million(source - banksafeonline.org.uk). The good news however, is that provided you adopt some simple precautions you can carry on enjoying what the online world has to offer. The key is to adopt the same kind of standards online as you would in the 'offline' world. After all, you wouldn't leave your front door open or have your credit cards lying around for everyone to see, would you? Unfortunately that's more or less what a lot of PC users are doing. At Yahoo! we're committed to helping you stay safe and secure when you're online. We can help protect you from viruses, put a stop to spam, give you help and advice on phishing scams and generally make your time online safer. It's protection for your PC. And peace of mind for you and your family.
