As the usage of internet is growing on day by day, so as the related risks are also increasing. As an internet user, we just have an expectation that whatever information or communication we are doing on internet is secure and safe such as personal messages, account information, pictures etc. Although maximum, internet is secure and private, still numerous safety risks are involved in it. These risks come along with some functions including computer viruses, spyware, spams, phishing scams or email attachments etc.
Maximum users of internet think if there is that locked icon in the browser, then we are safe from any kind of internet risk.That icon actually means that there is encrypted connection between your system and the web server. But it does not provide any surety about what you would be up to on that site. That does not provide assurance about your protection from any malware.
