- E-mail may not be from whom it claims to be from (i.e. spoofed). Many common Internet frauds start with spoofed e-mail.
- Viruses can be delivered to your computer by simply looking at a web page using a vulnerable web browser.
- Keep your operating system and applications updated
- Use Windows Update to make sure you have the latest security patches installed. Also check for updates to your application programs, especially Microsoft Office.
- Use hardware and/or software firewall
- A firewall can protect your computer from malicious traffic. A hardware firewall/router (such as the many offerings of companies like Linksys, D-Link, SMC, and others) acts as a barrier between the outside world and your computer.

Running any program that arrives via email or that was downloaded from the Internet can be dangerous. Only run applications that you wish to grant complete access to your computer and the data contained on it.
6) Upgrade to a better web browser
Choose a better browser for your internet connection. Mozilla's Firefox is available for almost every operating system and has many security and privacy advantages. Try "tabbed browsing". Manage your cookies. Block pop-up windows. The features are many, but the cost is low - in fact free.
7) Use an Anti-Virus program
If you follow all of the above recommendations a virus will have difficulty infecting your computer. However, since a computer virus can be a vehicle for a criminal to gain total control of your computer and thereby any information stored on, sent by, or received by your computer, it is prudent to install antivirus software from a reputable source and run it regularly. Since new viruses are discovered daily, it is important to keep antivirus software and the virus definitions it uses for detection up to date at all times.
If you follow each step outlined above, you can rest assured that your liberty reserve
ecurrency is safe.
