When signing up for a website, never give away your personal details e.g location, phone number and full name. When creating a password, make sure it isnt an easily guessed password this will help keep keyloggers from hacking into your website. If a keylogger hacks into your device, they can see what your typing, this means your password or what you are saying to others things that could be secret e.g your address, passwords or even bank details ect.. also they can take control of your webcam and you wont even realise it, it could be on for hours even days before you realise. The website you are using can create a virus but it is important that you do not click on anything that either pops up or has been sent to you, this could be a virus and by clicking on them your computer will loose all of its memory, personal items/private information. If you keep your compluter up to date on things such as norton, this can secure your computer and make sure you are safe from viruses. Also, log off before you leave the computer just incase someone can see your account, and make sure when you log into a public computer it does not automatically save your password, if you did this anyone could access your account and hack into it finding out all your personal details.
