Online dating or Relationships can be fun. But don’t neglect your safety and common sense when you try to hook up or meet with a mate. At minimum, be cautious in the following areas.

Protecting Your Computer 

Take care of your equipment and systems before you head out into the Internet realm. You need to have a firewall and anti-virus protection for your email and for when you search websites and interact online. At the bare minimum, you may want these two solutions that are offered at no charge to home computer users (i.e. not for commercial use):

Protect Yourself

Take care of yourself, too, by choosing appropriate dating sites to visit. Seek and choose a reputable online dating service.  How? Begin by asking around with friends, neighbors, co-workers and others you may know who have tried online dating that have yielded results, and see which places they recommend. In addition, search “free online dating services” or “free online dating services” and keep a notebook of their URLs or website links, the fees, rules and regulations, complete contact information of each and any other useful information that spikes your interest. Then compare each place.  Try only those places where you feel safe. Avoid the others.

Also, avoid the download of files sent as an attachment to email messages sent from senders you don't know as the files may be affected by virus.

So take care. Arm your computer – and yourself- with the correct tools and knowledge!
