Therefore you have to keep an eye out for cyber criminals who will try and obtain information from you about were you live, how to contact you and most commonly your bank account details so they can steal your money.

The ways in which they can obtain your Details which are:

• Trojan horse viruses
• Email attachments
• How to paste a link in a email

The way in which you can avoid this is by making sure you do not give out any details over the Internet if a pop up appears asking for your details don't give them any of your information if the pop up does not let you close it try the following: use ctrl+alt+Del

to open task manger an try and close it from there, if that does not work then log of and if that does not work shut down the computer.

If you are sent an email and do not know who sent it or what the attachment is then do not click on,open the email or attachment just delete it.If you know who the person is contact them in some other way and ask them about the email. the most suspicious email

attachment is an .exe file.
