Let\u2019s take a look:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever you are transacting online, be it online shopping or net banking, make sure to check that the websites are &#8216;https&#8217; enabled as it indicates secured connections.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your child browses the internet on computer, then it is wise enough to install a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reveantivirus.com\/en\/parental-control\" target=\"_blank\">parental control<\/a> tool to keep a check on his\/her online activities and protect him from becoming a victim of cyberbullying and other online threats.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whenever you are not browsing the internet, try to turn off your mobile data or WiFi connection as it will not only help you save your phone battery but will also prevent hacking attacks.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Receiving suspicious emails with attachments and links from unknown senders?
