Facebook Account Protection – 8 important Tips

Facebook Account Protection – 8 important Tips :

1. Maintain Your Password

Firstly you need to create a unique and difficult password for you to login to Facebook. That is the first step to being secure. The next step is to never share your password with anyone. And lastly you should change your password every so often, but still making it very difficult by using a combination of upper case, lowercase, and numbers.

2. Be Aware Of E-Mail Security

When your Facebook account gets hacked, it is not always through Facebook. Most of the time it is through your e-mail, where there is an insecure pass word or some kind of access to hackers. If someone can hack into your e-mail account, they can easily reset passwords and gain access to any online accounts that you have. This is extremely important and people often neglect this fact.

3. Protect Your Computer First

People often blame Facebook when their account gets hacked. But sometimes it is because they have not got their own protection on the computer they are using. It is very important to protect your computer as this is the gateway to all of your activities online and off-line. It is access to all of your friends on Facebook, your e-mails that come to your computer, your personal pictures, and more.

4. Enable Secure Browsing In Facebook

Secure browsing on Facebook (https) is an extra security feature. When you turn this feature on, all of your activity on Facebook becomes encrypted, making it harder for anyone else to access your Facebook information without your permission.

How to enable secure browsing on Facebook?

Go to the top right corner of your Facebook page and click on the little cog icon.
This will bring down your main menu. Choose account settings from this menu.
On the left side, choose security from the menu.
Click on the edit link on the far right that the lines up with secure browsing.
Now you will see an option to enable https browsing.
Tick the box to enable secure browsing.
Then press on save changes.

5. Enter Your Mobile Number

Adding your personal mobile phone number is another security feature in Facebook. It makes it very difficult for someone else to reset your password if they have to make the verification through your mobile number.

6. Be Careful When Staying Logged In

If you do not want to stay logged in, especially if you are on a public computer, always un-tick the box below to sign up area.Also do not forget to actually log out of your Facebook account. This is because people can still just hop on your computer and browse through your account as you are already logged in.

7. Monitor Logins for Facebook Account Protection

If you enable login notifications then you will know when someone has logged in to your Facebook account. This is a pretty simple concept and you can get the details sent to your mobile phone or your e-mail address.

To enable login notifications see the following instructions:

Go to the top right corner of your Facebook page and click on the little cog icon.
This will bring down your main menu. Choose account settings from this menu.
Click on login notifications.
Put a tick in the box next to the type of alerts you’d like to receive.
Now press save your changes.

Disable Java in Web Browser : An Internet Security Risk

Disable Java in Web Browser : An Internet Security Risk :

Security threats are becoming more and more common as vulnerabilities are found in various software used on a computer system. One of the most common is Java. Hackers have found that Java is a prime target because of all the security holes that exist.

Mozilla and Apple have updated versions of their web browsers that have disabled Java by default. If a user has not updated their browser, then they may want to disable Java to prevent any issues. There are many ways for a user to disable Java on their system. The method to use will depend on the browser in use on their system.

1) Firefox – Disable Java

Firefox is one of the most popular web browsers in use today. Java can be turned off by clicking on the drop down selection for “Add-ons” from the Tools drop down menu. Click on the option for “Plugins” and scroll to the selection for Java. Select the “Disable” option to turn off Java. Close and then reopen the browser to complete the process.

2) Disable Java in IE

Internet Explorer is the default browser for most Windows-based computers. Users will need to go into the Java Control Panel on their system to disable the software. However, there is an option in the Tools menu for managing browser add-ons. Find Java in the list of installed add-ons and select the option for “Disable.” One thing to keep in mind is that there may be more than one entry for Java.

3) Turn off Java in Chrome

Users with the Chrome web browser will need to type “about:plugins” in the address bar. This displays the plug-in settings for the browser. Scroll down to the listing for Java and select the option on the right for “Disable.” Closing and then opening the browser is needed for the change to take effect.


Disabling Java in the Safari browser can be done by selecting “Security” from the Preferences menu in the browser. Click “Enable Java” to deselect and then close the window.

The 5 Best new Smart TVs

The 5 Best new Smart TVs :

(An Update)

Ready to upgrade to a smart TV? Or move from HD to 3D? Here are the swankiest new sets on the market.

1) Samsung UE46ES8000 :

With its super-slim 46in screen and classic design, this truly is a stylish offering from Samsung. The smart TV is 3D-active and can be controlled by remote control, hand gestures or your voice. The 3D aside, the 2D viewing is some of the best you will see.

2) LG 55LM760T

For its size and wealth of features, this beautiful set from LG is great value for money. The near-invisible frame holds a 55in screen which delivers 3D and smart TV and it comes with two remotes and seven pairs of 3D glasses, which show that LG considers this a true family-entertainment system.

3) Sony KDL-22EX553

This 22in HD-ready television has energy- (and money-) saving features that mean the LED backlighting dims according to the scene. You can also use your smartphone to access films, songs and channels wirelessly through the Sony Entertainment Network.

4) Panasonic Viera TXP50X50B

With a five-star review from What Hi-Fi? this is a 50in television for anyone who doesn't want to pay over the odds to have a high-spec screen in their house. It may not be as slim as the top models but the picture quality is fantastic and considerably sharper than others in the same price range.

5) Philips 55PFL6007T/12

A top-of-the-range 55in 3D smart TV. This model boasts some really cool features such as Ambilight Spectra, which projects a glow of light around the sides of the television from the back of the screen on to the wall behind it, enlarging the screen and creating a more immersive, cinematic viewing experience.
