Tips to keep your computer safe:
-
Think before you click! When looking for a TV show, don’t click on that third-party link. Instead, get your content directly from the original source.
-
Use caution when searching for "torrent." This term is by far the riskiest search term.
-
Keep your personal information personal. If you receive a request to enter information like your credit card, email, home address, or social media login don't give it out thoughtlessly. Do your research and ensure it's not a phishing or scam attempt that could lead to identity theft.
-
Make sure your computer is protected with antivirus software.
