Purchasing items through an internet classified site is a great way to find the items you’re looking for at a terrific price, but there are risks you take when you do. Your first line of defense is to use reputable services and follow closely any advice the site gives about buying safely.   How to respond to an ad If the ad seems too good to be true, it probably is. There is a fine line between a great deal, and getting scammed or stuck with stolen goods. If the site allows you to see seller reviews, check these out and avoid anyone with a questionable sales history. If you want the convenience of allowing the seller to call you (as opposed to responding by email through the service), provide a free disposable phone number. You can get one easily by searching on ‘disposable phone number’ and selecting from one of several companies that provide this service. Don’t put your personal phone number in your response to an ad – you don’t want peop

Stick to the facts of the item being sold. Leave out personal information, including your email and phone number, if you can help it Look hard at any photo you post. You don’t want it to include house numbers in the background, or license plate numbers, family members, etc. Understand that many out-of-area buyers are associated with fraudulent deals If anything feels “off,” stop contact. It’s always a good idea to chat on the phone for a bit about the item for sale and be wary of erratic or nonsensical behavior on the phone Make it clear that you will only accept cash for the item. Other forms of payment are highly likely to be fraudulent Don’t accept partial payment or anything other than cash for the transaction. If the method of payment changes from your previous agreement, walk away from the deal Agree to meet during daylight hours in a public place and bring a friend to accompany you. With high profile items, it’s okay to ask for proof of id

People ask us all the time, "What are some basic ways to keep my personal data safe on my smartphone or tablet?" And it's a great question, since mobile devices are exploding in popularity.   To that end, here are some basic, need-to-know tips for securing your mobile device:   Know your apps: Download apps only from a trusted source, like the Google Market, Apple App Store or Amazon App Store. Closely scrutinize the permissions the app requests, and don't install it if it wants to access certain functions that it doesn't need, such as the ability to send SMS messages. User reviews are also helpful.   Lock your device: Most smartphones and tablets give you a choice of locking the device with a password, numeric code or pattern. Take advantage of this – if nothing else, you'll prevent practical jokesters from emailing your boss if you leave your device unattended.   Explore mobile

This way you'll never have to type out the same thing everytime you post.   Here's how you do it:   Go to My Settings (located by the Sign Out link) Select the Personal Profile tab Select the Personal Info tab Type your desired signature into the Signature text boxThat's it! Now you're ready to go.   Need a suggestion for a signature? Try making it fun, but keep it appropriate...something like Thelma, Lover of Sushi, Mother of 3 or Ricky, Webroot Customer Since '97.

I joined the community today to see if I could get a better understanding of what I'm doing with my computer's security and to find out why everyday Webroot sends me an alert to send the error log to Webroot.  When I try to send the error log I get a message that the effort failed and to try again.  It always fails so now I just cancel it.  What's going on?         I have the Webroot Antivirus with spy sweeper product.  I also have AVG anti virus free edition running as well.  Do I need both?

Just wanted to stop in and say hi to everyone , I just joined the community, so I am wandering around trying to find all the options right now,have a great day.

Apart from grounding your kids or having the awkward “we need to talk” talk, there are some serious risks for kids who are connected all the time. The truth is, even if parents trust that their kids are making the right decisions online, threats such as online predators, inappropriate content, and cyberbullies are real.   The Internet safety for children advocacy group, ikeepsafe.org, brings to light three main risks associated with all connected technology: Inappropriate Contact, Content, and Conduct (the 3 C’s).   Inappropriate contact occurs when strangers or predators online reach out to kids to establish new relationships or to engage in regular communication. “The Internet is a place to enhance existing relationships, not a place to meet new people,” warns the organization.   And it happens more than we would like to think.
