Simple Way to protect your Identity

Do you pay your bills online? Do you shop online? When you click on "remember me" and the website remembers your login information, that information is stored on your computer. If someone steals your computer or hacks into your computer, they will use these files to gain information. One easy way to protect yourself is to delete these files from your computer. However before you do this, make sure you have all your login information written and saved. Open Internet Explorer, then click on Tools menu, then select Internet options from the menu. A window will open with several tabs. On the general tab, under the browsing history section, click on the delete button. Another screen will open. Check cookies and click on the delete button. If you have not done this before, it may take some time.
