5. UPDATE YOUR ANTIVIRUS
Keep your antivirus software updated and run complete virus scans regularly to avoid infected sites. These are the sites that are not legitimate and have malicious software to hack your personal information.
A lot of such infected sites come up during festive seasons, when people are naturally likely to be involved in online purchase of gift items. Hackers build these sites using popular search items.
Another variation of infection is legitimate sites that get heavy traffic and, hence, are injected with ads and images that have viruses. A good way to avoid these is to visit familiar, popular sites only, and to install ad blockers on your browser.
