There are some who don't know much about the world-wide-web, and feel that the safety of their information is at risk every time they log on. Many aren't sure where to start in order to safeguard their personal information. The experts at Reputation Maxx have come up with a few helpful tips in order for users to get started making their Internet experience a safer one right away.

1. Separate business and pleasure:
Any online reputation management agency will start by suggesting that work and social emails should be kept separate. The likelihood of both addresses being hacked is slim and if the choice had to be made, the social email would have more activity. Emails from friends are always the better choice than the risk of any financial information becoming available.

2. Browser Tips:
For all those out there still using Internet Explorer 6, stop now. Unfortunately, this browser has been riddled with a large amount of hacks and should not be used. Try newer versions of Firefox or Google Chrome, which are more equipped to handle hackers. Also make sure to clear out cookies (bits of saved information), especially if using a public computer.

3. Choose a strong password:
Choosing something like a birthday, telephone number, even pets or other things known amongst friends or family members is a big mistake. Choose something easy to remember, but a password that no one else would know, like a song title. Make sure to use a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols to confuse hackers even further.

For some, the fear of keeping their information private is a constant concern, but with the advice of the experts at Reputation Maxx, there is no longer a need for much worry. By utilizing these simple tips, the chances of a encountering a problem can significantly decrease.
