Thank you so much for posting this article. I tell ALL my friends, infact anyone I meet and talk tech with… the same tips you have just mentioned.

One point that deserves repeating is that people do not clear browsing history before and after going to certain sites like Online Banking, Job Applications and even your favorite E-mail client.

What is worse that people have automated the login process for almost all of their credentials for e-mail, blog sites, facebook, shopping carts and even online banking.

The worst part is that some people have asked the computer to remember the answers to security questions for online banking… and I say to them… you might as well make a HUGE poster with all that information and hang it around your neck when you walk in the mall. It doesn't take much to go in the storage locations and look up this sensitive information.

This might sound cold/curel.. but when I hear people saying … "oh my account got hacked" I cant help but laugh at them… because I know exactly why and probably how it happened.

For all those fortunate enough to read Simon's article and my ranting… :) use this free utility from Piriform Ltd. It is called the Ccleaner (The C stands for CRAP). It cleans the browsing history, autofill entries (if selected), old temporary files hogging system resources and much more.

It also has a FREE built-in registery cleaner. Only drawback of the free part is that you have to run it 2 or 3 times (assuming you havent run it ever before) to catch all the errors but hey its free so why not.

Here is the website for it.
